Belarus says West ‘back-stabbed’ Ukraine
President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus has warned the former Soviet republics about the West’s treachery, saying the US-led Western camp has “back-stabbed” Ukraine.
Lukashenko said on Thursday that promises of support given by Washington and its allies to ex-Soviet nations were fake.
He said Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was promised non-ending support by the West in the proxy war against Russia.
The president of Belarus said he had warned Zelensky that “some turmoil will happen ... and they (the US) will forget about you.”
Ukraine’s president is now “walking around hat in hand, poor man,” Lukashenko said.
“They back-stabbed him, just like in Afghanistan.”
Lukashenko said the pro-West Ukrainians will soon be fleeing the country by any means possible.
Ukrainians “will be clinging to plane landing gear and falling,” he said, the way some Afghans did in 2020, when the US was withdrawing its troops amid the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban.
The Belarusian leader noted that Minsk has supported, and will continue to support, Moscow in every possible way.
“And you, 50 [US-led] countries, support Ukraine today.”
“Long ago this war turned from Russia's conflict with Ukraine into Russia's war against the entire ‘civilized’ West. You know, they don't deny it.”
Since Russia launched its special military operation in Donbas in February 2022, the US has led a Western coalition, sending tens of billions of dollars in weaponry and munitions to Kiev.
But the Republicans in Congress are ever-more openly rejecting allocating more funding for the continuous military assistance, casting doubt on Ukraine’s prospects for success as it has failed to retake large parts of territory and break through Russian lines.
