Belarus President Lukashenko: Preparing for war to avoid it, no attack plans

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated that Belarus is preparing for a possible war but does not intend to attack anyone, in a meeting with power structures. This rhetoric signals heightened military readiness amid regional tensions, likely in response to perceived threats from NATO and Ukraine. The statement is consistent with Belarus's recent posture of aligning with Russia while maintaining a defensive narrative.
