Belarusians chanted “Thank you!” when they learned about joint exercises with Russia
The Russian-Belarusian military exercises “Slavic Brotherhood 2020” will be held in two stages.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced this today at a women's forum in Minsk, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“We decided to conduct these exercises in connection with the acute situation in two stages. And the second stage will be dedicated to you – our women,” Lukashenko said.
The audience gave a standing ovation. The women chanted: “Thank you!”
“Believe me, the situation is very difficult. I don't want to complicate it. We are men and we will solve this problem. Today the issue of Belarus, Russia and all of Europe is being resolved here. It cannot lead to a hot war. We are on the verge of a terrible catastrophe. If they come here, we will be forced to answer. We will not kneel even if we are left alone,” Lukashenko said.
