Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday he was concerned about Western moves to “dismember” Ukraine and accused Poland of seeking to occupy the western part of the country.
Of course, he did not provide evidence for his allegations.
“What worries us is that the Poles and NATO are ready to come out, to help take western Ukraine as it was before 1939,” Lukashenko said during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Lukashenko, a close ally of Putin, has said that Kyiv should eventually seek help to prevent the occupation of western Ukraine.
Moscow has previously claimed that Poland seeks to control historically Polish territory in Ukraine, a claim that Warsaw denies as an attempt at misinformation.
Poland is one of the strongest supporters of Ukraine, with a large arms shipment and at the same time hosting more than 3 million Ukrainian refugees.
Belarus said in March that its armed forces had not participated in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, but had served as an entry point for Russia to send thousands of troops across the border on February 24.
According to a non-aggression pact signed in 1939 shortly before the outbreak of World War II, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union divided Poland. Most of the territory occupied by Moscow is now in either Belarus or Ukraine. Kaliningrad, the former German East Prussia, became an enclave of Russia.
