"When there was no army in Ukraine": Lukashenko called the "only mistake" of Russia in the war

The Belarusian dictator regretts that Russia has not launched a war against Ukraine until 2014, because, in his opinion, the Ukrainian people were not ready for struggle. The Belarusian dictator Oleksandr Lukashenko believes that the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin should be involved in Russian troops to invade the territory of Ukraine until 2014. The Belarusian Belta Information Agency informs about it on June 1. He regrets that the Russians have not begun to destroy Ukrainians before.

According to him, it was necessary to "deal with this issue in 2014-2015. " The politician believes that before the Revolution of Dignity in Russia was the opportunity to win. "Our mistake that we did not solve this issue in 2014-2015, when there was neither an army in Ukraine nor readiness," he said.

Lukashenko accused the Western states of regular support of Ukraine before the large -scale invasion of Russia into the Ukrainian territory, which took place in February 2022, as well as more intensive supply of weapons. He agrees with Putin, who stated that "the war began long before 2014. " "And during this time, they created capable armed forces," the dictator said. According to him, during the negotiations on peaceful settlement, some participants confirmed this thesis.

He recalled the former French President of François Holland. "They openly admitted that they did their best to prepare Ukraine for war with Russia," Lukashenko quoted. He noted that the Ukrainian presidents allegedly had the opportunity to implement options that could help avoid bloodshed. According to Lukashenko, politicians were pushed to the worst scenarios. He hinted at the actions of a civilized world. "Found the pain points where you could press," the dictator said.
