Lukashenko Dismisses Suwałki Corridor Seizure Plans as 'Stupid'

Belarusian President Lukashenko publicly rejected Western media reports alleging Belarus and Russia plan to seize the Suwałki Corridor, calling them 'stupid'. This denial is a notable rhetorical softening from Minsk amid heightened NATO-Russia tensions, but it does not alter the strategic vulnerability of the corridor. The statement is unverified and may be an attempt to de-escalate or misdirect.
