President Alexander Lukashenko on Tuesday demonstrated a map that looked like a scheme of military actions in Ukraine.

Talking at a Security Council meeting in Minsk, the Belarusian leader repeated that Russian Armed Forces conducted missile launches from Belarus into Ukraine on February 23 to prevent what he has claimed was Ukraine's intention to attack Belarus.

On Tuesday, Lukashenko said that Belarus has no plans to join Russia's military operation in Ukraine.

The U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Monday that Lukashenko has allowed Russian leader Vladimir Putin to "make a mockery" of Belarus' sovereignty by allowing Moscow's forces to launch their attack on Ukraine from its territory.
