Lukashenko: Western Europe is raising a monster of Ukraine

Western Europe first raised a monster called fascist Germany and now is raising a new monster of Ukraine, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting in the run-up to Independence Day in Minsk on 2 July, BelTA has learned.

According to him, Belarus' western neighbors are greedily eyeing the border territories of Belarus and Ukraine and do not even hesitate to talk openly about possible annexation. "Just as in the last century, these processes are run by the same old civilized Western Europe, which first raised a monster called fascist Germany, and then, in order to survive, threw itself into the arms of those whom it wished a defeat at first. History repeats itself. The monster is being raised of Ukraine," the head of state stated, adding that simultaneously they are trying create an image of the enemy from Belarus.
