Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Friday gave a stern message to other former Soviet Union nations keeping their distance from Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
"The countries of the post-Soviet space should be sincerely interested in rapprochement with the union state, if, of course, they want to preserve their sovereignty and independence," Lukashenko said, according to an English translation of a report from the Belarusian state-run BelTA news agency. "We are convinced that only together can we resist global challenges."
Lukashenko was meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Grodno, Belarus, as part of the ninth Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia when he made the comments.
"Those who still have doubts should understand: Without the speedy unity and rallying, strengthening of interstate ties and simply normal human relations, we may not exist tomorrow," added Lukashenko, who has been an outspoken supporter of Russia's military efforts in Ukraine.

Well said.
Some speculate that Lukashenko would like to be the next Czar of a re-unified Russian Empire, and that he could be an acceptable figurehead to the security services elites who run Russia.
“Putin Ally Warns Former USSR Nations Need to Fall in Line to Stay Sovereign”
Translated: “If any of you get ‘cute’, NATO’s not coming to your rescue.”
(and considering that they’ve dumped most of their weapons in Ukraine, they really can’t, anyway)
"Hail Putin!!!", he added. "Hail Victory!!!"
Maybe these former USSR Nations will join up and kick Russia down the road
Or, in other words, If you want to be free to do what you want you better do what I tell you.
Best general in all of American history.
Tell me again how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was somehow Ukraine’s fault or the fault of the western nations rather than pure Russian aggression.
Sad Putin has sad illusions of getting the band back together before he croaks from cancer.
The longer Ukraine holds out and the more they bleed the Russians, the more secure that front becomes for the US and Europe, and especially the tiny NATO countries, for decades to come.
Reagan broke Russia and undid much of the slavery that WWII left in Europe, this war is absorbing this era’s Russian drive for empire, giving us a breather for a generation or more.
This new awareness for the complacent Europeans that history isn’t over will help some in regards to the growing China threat, and this weakened, depleted, demoralized Russia won’t be as much help for Red China as we thought they could be before we witnessed them struggling so exhaustingly against what should have been an easy conquest.
“Tell me again how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was somehow Ukraine’s fault or the fault of the western nations rather than pure Russian aggression.”
Many on here have been trying to tell you, but you clueless ‘tards refuse to accept reality. So we’ve written you off as idiots, and have all but given up on you ever acknowledging the truth.
That was a long, long time ago. What would Patton say about the current state of the US military?
Transsexual officers, affirmative action Defense Chiefs, a severe woke military brass and a quisling puppet commander in chief controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
He talks the talk but can’t walk the walk. Russian thugs armed with tanks and artillery haven’t been able to take Ukraine in 4 months. NATO countries with much more population and combined GDP 29 times that of Russia would do to the Russian armed forces what the US and various allies did in Iraq. If Putin is stupid enough to try to invade NATO countries, NATO should destroy every railroad bridge between Moscow and every NATO country. They should also destroy every rail bridge surrounding Moscow for 200 kilometers. They should also destroy every rail bridge in Belarus. Furthermore the entire Russian Black Sea fleet and Baltic fleet should be sunk along with every single Russian naval vessel in the Mediterranean.
General Patton would say “I told you so” about Putin and Russia.
This clown is bullet bait
