Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “Russia's leaders have never raised the matter of participation in some operations, including this Ukrainian one, before me. We have our own tasks, which by the way correlate with the conflict and with the operation Russia is carrying out in Ukraine. We have to cover our back over there so that the Russian army would not be attacked from behind. It is in our interests. It is in interests of the Russian army.”
