There are no more "red lines" — Lukashenko

In case of violation of the state border of Belarus, the response will be instantaneous. Alexander Lukashenko said this today, August 15, during an interview with Rossiya TV channel.

"We don't want an escalation, and we don't want a war against the whole of NATO. We don't want that. But if they do it and go for it, well... we won't have any other way out. And there will be no "red lines"," he said.

According to him, "it exists, this line is the state border."

"As soon as they stepped on it (I speak as a border guard), the answer will be instantaneous. It has been prepared by order in safes, as it should be," the Belarusian leader stressed.

In addition, Lukashenko said that Minsk has identified more than 20 brigades and battalion groups that will be deployed on the border with Ukraine to prevent a breakthrough.

Recall, on August 9, more than a dozen Ukrainian attack drones violated the air border of Belarus. All of them were destroyed by the Belarusian air defense forces. After that, Lukashenko ordered additional forces to be deployed to the border with Ukraine to protect the country.
