The southern border of Belarus is ablaze, Lukashenko said

The situation on the southern border of Belarus remains tense, President Alexander Lukashenko said at a meeting on June 18 on the development of the armed forces until 2030.

Lukashenko demanded increased attention of the military to the situation in the southern direction.

"The southern border — one and a half thousand kilometers — is burning like never before. Do we need to protect the southern border with an enhanced regime or not? That's the answer. It is necessary," Lukashenko said.

Lukashenko also commented on the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a bus in the Bryansk region, in which there was a children's football team from Belarus. The President believes that Belarus is trying to respond to her "calm down."

Earlier, he reminded the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, in response to threats from his side, the proverb "As they sing, so they sing". Lukashenko explained that he was forced to respond to the statements of the Ukrainian side, which he regarded as inappropriate.
