“Democracy, elections are one thing, but if Belarus threatens the NATO troops invasion or attempt to interfere with, any option, in Kiev, is, I believe, should be prevented,” he said.
In his opinion, if the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko will turn to Russia for military assistance, it must “immediately provide”.
Zhirinovsky believes that Russia could not allow “the Western countries have propagated Belarus has the same regime in Kiev”.
“It’s horrible going for us is our safety. I’m talking about — not about Lukashenka, and about the security of Russia. We don’t need NATO tanks near Smolensk,” — said the politician.
He stressed that Russia “should have its safe Western border.”
Earlier the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated about the agreement with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that Russia is on the first request, provide assistance to Belarus in ensuring security in case of external military threats.
On 16 August, the Kremlin said that the Russian President during the conversation with Lukashenko confirmed his readiness to assist in resolving problems within the CSTO.
