Lukashenko states Belarus preparing for war amid regional tensions
Belarusian President Lukashenko declared that Belarus is 'preparing for war' while claiming to be against conflict, stating the military exists to respond if attacked. The statement's specific target is unclear, and the source applies heavy editorial commentary and sarcasm questioning the credibility of the claim. Context regarding what specific threat prompted this declaration is absent from the reporting.
