Alexander Lukashenko made the comments in a meeting with the governor of the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.
during the meeting which were tweeted by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko, Lukashenko also said that Belarus"was responsible for the Kaliningrad region in the Soviet Union to speak."We were pretending to take over the Kaliningrad region there, although it would have probably been no worse if the Kaliningrad region had been closer," he added in the clip to officials who were smiling, suggesting that it was being interpreted as a light-hearted comment.
Next to the video, which as of Tuesday afternoon had been viewed 93,000 times, Gerashchenko wrote,"Lukashenko suddenly reminisced about his warm feelings for Kaliningrad region of Russia."Although he has refrained from getting Minsk directly involved in Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Lukashenko is a close ally of the Russian leader who uses Belarusian territory as a staging post for the war.
Lukashenko was absent for several days after Victory Day commemorations in Moscow on May 9 marking victory over Germany in World War II.
