The Belarusian Security Council will meet in Minsk on April 8 to analyze the ongoing events in Ukraine and will draw certain lessons from them, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said. "Today we need to discuss, as we have planned, two problems facing us: first, it is the degree of our readiness to host the World Ice Hockey Championship, and, second, it is our lessons and tasks that stem from the present-day situation, primarily the events in Ukraine," Lukashenko said.
“I would like to warn everyone that we are not scared of anything happening there [in Ukraine]. I see no fear in the eyes of the Security Council members,” the president said.
The Ukraine topic was included in the meeting’s agenda in response “to unfolding events there,” he said.
“We have been discussing this problem a lot and have agreed to revisit it at one of the Security Council’s sessions in order to enable our authorities and society to draw certain conclusions from it,” Lukashenko said.
“We said that only a fool will fail to draw conclusions from the events that are taking place around us,” the president said.
