The dictator states Russia is the main strategic Belarusian partner.

Today Aliaksandr Lukashenka has stated that in his address to the Belarusians and "the Parliament".

"We belong to Russian world. We will be together as it used to be before. We are closely connected with the Russian people, we are brothers", he said.

"The Belarusians and the Russians are united. Some Russian liberals and part of its government say that Lukashenka has faced the West. Perhaps, someone drove crazy and faced it, but definitely that was not us", the ruler said.

Lukashenka stated in case of possible military conflict Belarus would support Russia.

"I say all Western people, as well as Americans: "Guys, if something is wrong, we will take the Russian side. This is our ally. Of course, God forbid, we get into a situation when, despite everything, we will be forced to support our ally", he noted.

Lukashenka called "nonsense" his refusal to go to Moscow for the parade on May 9 in order to please the West.

"We will arrive on May 8 to the capital of our motherland – Moscow. And we will demonstrate that we belong to the Russian world" Lukashenka declared.
