They talked about confrontation with the Baltic countries.

The self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko discussed with the military whether they could capture and hold the Suwalki corridor.

In a video published online, he says that certain “they” are “all the time blathering about the Suwalki corridor” and asks the commander of the North-Western Operational Command, Alexander Naumenko, about the distance from Belarus to the Kaliningrad region. He answers that in a straight line – 42 kilometers. 

“Practically nothing… Well, it’s in vain that they behave this way. At the moment, you will have to confront the Baltic republics… And you will grab part of Poland,” says Lukashenko.

He also asks whether the minister is confident that he will be able to hold this territory along the front with his troops. He says that “all actions are planned, combat readiness issues are being worked out and personnel are being prepared.”
