Lukashenko accuses US and Europe of orchestrating Belarusian protests
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko accused the US and Europe of organizing the protests in his country, BelTA news agency informed on Friday.
"The US is planning and directing it, and the Europeans are playing along," he said, adding that "a special center" has been established near Warsaw. "You know, when there is unrest nearby and tanks and planes begin to move, this is no coincidence," the president pointed out.
He noted that Western states are trying to play the Belarusian card against Russia, calling Belarus "the only remaining link" in the "Baltic-Black Sea corridor," which includes three Baltic states, Ukraine and Belarus.
