If the Russian brothers need help, we are ready, says Lukashenko
The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said today that his country is "already ready" to offer more help to Russia in its war against Ukraine.
Speaking during a state visit to Russian ally Zimbabwe, Lukashenko noted that Russia does not need "any help" at the moment.
"If our Russian brothers need help, we are always ready to offer such help," Lukashenko said, without specifying what that help would entail.
Putin's close ally visited the southern African country in an effort to strengthen economic and political ties between Belarus and Zimbabwe.
The two countries cooperate closely, especially in agriculture, and Lukashenko offered Zimbabwe more tractors, harvesters and trucks. Zimbabwe has not publicly condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Earlier this month, Russia and Belarus took part in joint military exercises on Belarusian territory.
