Łukašenka says Baltic states and Poland may be wiped off the map
July 2, Pozirk. The Baltic states and Poland may be wiped off the map if they continue their current policies, Alaksandar Łukašenka said yesterday in his address to an Independence Day rally in Minsk.
The politician drew parallels with the Second World War, claiming that Germany is “once again assuming the role of a regional military leader by deploying brigade-level ground forces near our borders,” apparently referring to the deployment of a German anti-tank brigade in Lithuania.
Lithuania and Poland are busy entrenching themselves, with Warsaw buying up military equipment all over the world at the expense of the Polish taxpayers, he claimed. “They rush into new military alliances which are, in fact, hostile to us,” the Belarusian ruler added, accusing Americans and others of granting loans for these purposes.

If they [these countries] want to disappear from the world map once again, it will be their choice!”
Łukašenka and his officials support Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine, accusing the West of aggressive intentions towards Belarus without presenting any evidence.
The European Union countries have beefed up NATO’s eastern flank, citing threats posed by Russia and Belarus.
