Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has accused Ukrainian forces of having prepared to strike not only Donbas but also Belarus.

"If a preemptive strike hadn't been delivered six hours before the operation upon the positions, four positions, I'll show you, I've brought a map with me, they'd have attacked our troops, Belarusian and Russian ones, which were conducting exercises," Lukashenko said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday.

"Again, they were preparing to strike not only Donbas, but they also formed positions to launch a strike upon Belarus," he said.
