President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in an interview with Bloomberg said that Belarus will never be a part of Russia, and the Kremlin has threatened the most severe reaction to the attempted military invasion of the country.

Why Belarusian president brought up this topic for the public, what lies behind it, and what can be further developments? All these questions correspondent "Gordon" said Ambassador of Ukraine to Belarus in 2010-2011 Roman Bezsmertnyi.

His position is clear. And whether the current Russian leadership plans for the annexation of Belarus? Especially because the Kremlin has long been talk of the seizure of the Baltic states and threaten Finland, Poland.

- If the spring and autumn of this year, Putin will not be able to explode the situation in Latvia, where it is also possible developments on the "Donbass" scenario, I do not rule out that he may come to Belarus and take Vitebsk and Gomel regions. And this need to think very seriously by the Belarusians, as they missed the moment when you could still get the Eurasian train. This could have been done a year ago, yet they are not completely "swallowed the" bait with EurAsEC.

- And how many are now in the territory of Belarus is the Russian troops?

- Now there are two radar base and several air bases that host five squadrons of aircraft.

- As far as we know, this year want to open another Russian airbase with modern aircraft?

- And they keep doing it, because Belarus does not have its base maintenance of aircraft, left over from the Soviet Union.

- What is the current state of the Belarusian army?

- I can say briefly: the parade have something to show. But I am afraid that it is only "show". If the Ukrainian army to the conflict in the Donbas had tripled stamp to everything fell apart, there is enough only two.

- That is the word Lukashenka: "We will fight against the Europeans, Americans, Russians, anyone, if they set a goal to win this piece of land" - this is just bravado?

- Yes, because that can tell people, long considered to be a dictator in the West, so light-yourself option Gaddafi? Just this.

- How the West react to a possible attack on Putin Belarus, given its long-standing aversion to Lukashenka?

- Just as in the Ukrainian conflict. Will statements conviction concern. It's not in the country, and the principle of territorial integrity. Especially, that Belarus is one of the countries - founders of the United Nations.
