Alexander Lukashenko at "Big Conversation with the President" Belta
Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that he would take "a whole contingent of the Belarusian army" to the border with Ukraine. Lukashenko made this statement during a meeting with the chairman of the State Border Committee of Belarus.
Lukashenko explained this statement by saying that allegedly "the Ukrainians have started dragging troops there. According to him, Belarus and Russia "long ago announced plans to conduct joint training on the border with Ukraine”.
"It's also important for us because we will have to deploy a whole contingent of the Belarusian army there. This was also talked about in Luninka. And it has nothing to do with any occupation here. We just want to protect our southern border. And such politicians should pay attention to the concentration of troops not only on the border of Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, but also Ukraine. We were not the first ones to pay attention to our southern border. The Ukrainians began to pull their troops together. I don't understand why," said Lukashenko.
On January 17, Lukashenko blamed Ukraine for amassing the troops next to the state border with Belarus.
At the same time, the US State Department stated that Russia can use the territory of Belarus to invade Ukraine.

Certainly seems like them and Russia are getting ready to manufacture a way to victimize themselves before invading.
