Belarus’s President Exonerates Country from Ukraine Invasion

President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, has said his forces will not join Russian troops in the invasion of Ukraine.

A spokesperson for the US State Department, Ned Price, noted that Russia had made a mockery of Belarus’ sovereignty by launching its invasion of Ukraine from Belarusian territory.

Fears had been raised on Monday that Lukashenko was preparing to send a military force to join in the attack on Kyiv.
