"Definitely, Belarus took part in the aggression – the first missiles were launched from its territory, Russian troops attacked from there," the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, addressed the issue in an interview with LB.ua, Report informs, citing Ukrinform.
"However, we believe that the Belarusian people do not support this idea (of participation in the war against Ukraine - LB.ua). Of course, they provided their territory for Russian troops. But the probability of the Belarusian army massively participating in the war is not very high precisely because of the mood of the Belarusian people," said Andriy Yermak.
Yermak also assessed the prospects of bringing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to justice: "It is a very sensitive issue. Along with the Russians, their names have been included in the sanctions list, too. Of course, we will consider this when determining losses and compensation. But Belarus's inactivity is strategically essential."
