Attack on Belarus will start the Third World War — Lukashenko

An attack on Belarus will mean the beginning of the Third World War. Alexander Lukashenko said this today, September 17, at a solemn event dedicated to the National Unity Day.

"I want to warn our opponents, our rivals. And those who do not understand yet. Don't do that. The attack on Belarus is the third World war," the Belarusian leader stressed.

According to him, Belarus has more than ever before to respond to external aggression.

"I have already said that Belarusian peacefulness should not be mistaken for weakness. When I say this, you don't think I'm bluffing or exaggerating. No, it's not. In this regard, we have something to answer like never before," Lukashenko stressed.
