and the consequent tensions with European NATO members, sparked by drone incursions in the Baltic.<\/p>\n<p>But Tsikhanouskaya says these steps would not bring any tangible results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLukashenka is serving to Russia&#8217;s interests, not the interests of the Belarusian people. He&#8217;s ready to betray our sovereignty, our independence, just to stay in power. So please don&#8217;t think that Lukashenka can be split,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking from Kyiv, she told Euronews that no one can drive a wedge between Lukashenka and Putin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLukashenka and Putin have a symbiotic friendship, they support each other, they use each other. And of course, it&#8217;s an illusion that they can be split.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Threats from Belarus<\/h2>\n<p>Kyiv has issued numerous warnings that Russia may be preparing a new offensive against northern Ukraine with the help of Belarus. <\/p>\n<p>As it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Moscow used Belarusian territory to cross Ukraine\u2019s border and move its forces towards the northern regions and the capital Kyiv.<\/p>\n<p>On her first official visit to Ukraine this week, Tskihanouskaya said that \u201cUkraine is defending the entire region from Russian imperialism\u201d and insisted that the people of Belarus are \u201callies and not enemies\u201d of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that Kyiv is prepared to take &#8220;preventive&#8221; measures against Russia and the Belarusian leadership over potential military threats to northern Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe de facto leadership of Belarus\u201d must \u201cstay on its toes \u2013 that is, clearly understand that there will be consequences if aggressive actions against Ukraine, against our people, are taken\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Same as in 2022, Lukashenka denied any plans to involve his country in the war, unless &#8220;aggression is committed against (Belarusian) territory&#8221;, pointing not only at Ukraine, but also at the Baltic states.<\/p>\n<p>In April he made unjustified claims about alleged aggression against Belarus from Poland and the Baltic states and vowed that Minsk \u2014 together with Moscow \u2014 would respond using all available means, including nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My task is to warn my neighbours, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and possibly to some extent Ukraine. May God protect them from aggression against Belarus. We do not want war, we are not planning to fight them,&#8221; Lukashenka said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div

Putin, Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said.\u201cHe will fulfil all the orders of Putin, but he&#8217;s doing this against the will of the Belarusian people,&#8221; Tsikhanouskaya told Euronews&#8217; Europe Today morning show on Tuesday.French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly warned Lukashenka on Sunday not to escalate his country&#8217;s involvement in Russia&#8217;s all-out war against Ukraine.The rare phone call took place over Minsk&#8217;s potential military threats to northern Ukraine, a Russia-Belarus nuclear exercise and the consequent tensions with European NATO members, sparked by drone incursions in the Baltic.But Tsikhanouskaya says these steps would not bring any tangible results.\u201cLukashenka is serving to Russia&#8217;s interests, not the interests of the Belarusian people. He&#8217;s ready to betray our sovereignty, our independence, just to stay in power. So please don&#8217;t think that Lukashenka can be split,&#8221; she said.Speaking from Kyiv, she told Euronews that no one can drive a wedge between Lukashenka and Putin.\u201cLukashenka and Putin have a symbiotic friendship, they support each other, they use each other. And of course, it&#8217;s an illusion that they can be split.\u201dThreats from BelarusKyiv has issued numerous warnings that Russia may be preparing a new offensive\u00a0against northern Ukraine with the help of Belarus.As it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Moscow used Belarusian territory to cross Ukraine\u2019s border and move its forces towards the northern regions and the capital Kyiv.On her first official visit to Ukraine this week, Tskihanouskaya said that \u201cUkraine is defending the entire region from Russian imperialism\u201d and insisted that the people of Belarus are \u201callies and not enemies\u201d of Ukraine.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that Kyiv\u00a0is prepared to take &#8220;preventive&#8221; measures against Russia and the Belarusian leadership over potential military threats to northern Ukraine.\u201cThe de facto leadership of Belarus\u201d must \u201cstay on its toes \u2013 that is, clearly understand that there will be consequences if aggressive actions against Ukraine, against our people, are taken\u201d.Same as in 2022, Lukashenka denied any plans to involve his country in the war, unless &#8220;aggression is committed against (Belarusian) territory&#8221;, pointing not only at Ukraine, but also at the Baltic states.In April he made unjustified claims about alleged aggression against Belarus from Poland and the Baltic states and vowed that Minsk \u2014 together with Moscow \u2014 would respond using all available means, including nuclear weapons.&#8221;My task is to warn my neighbours, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and possibly to some extent Ukraine. May God protect them from aggression against Belarus. We do not want war, we are not planning to fight them,&#8221; Lukashenka said.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/05\/26\/lukashenka-will-fulfil-all-orders-of-putin-tsikhanouskaya-says-amid-threats-from-minsk-and&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/77\/21\/36\/1200x675_cmsv2_0d6d8776-b8b0-5ee9-a2df-17f4eb6df9b2-9772136.jpg&#8221;] Health news EU and UNICEF send 100 tonnes of aid to DR Congo amid Ebola outbreak Europe News Ukraine graft probes &#8216;exactly what the EU wants,&#8217; deputy PM says Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | May 26th, 2026 \u2013 Evening Iran Ayatollah Khamenei breaks silence to vow no US bases [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1956046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1956046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1956046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1956046\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1956046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1956046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1956046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
