The Belarusian leader called for Russia to defend Belarus "as its own territory." Belarus hosts a contingent of thousands of Russian troops.
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has called for Russia to defend Belarus in the event of an attack, state news agency Belta reported on Monday.
Lukashenko made the statement following a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in the Belarusian capital Minsk, Belta said.
The Belarusian strongman said that Minsk required "full security guarantees" from Moscow.
Belta cited Lukashenko as saying that he had discussed the issues with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had agreed that security guarantees for Minsk needed to be formalized.
"In general, it sounded at the talks [with Putin] that in the case of aggression against Belarus, the Russian Federation would protect Belarus as its own territory," Lukashenko said.
"These are the kind of security [guarantees] we need," he stressed.
He also thanked Moscow for keeping thousands of Russian troops on Belarusian territory.
Belarus currently hosts a contingent of Russian forces, and also served as a staging ground for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in the early days of the war. Lukashenko said that Belarus has no intention of committing troops to Russia's invasion, but will respond to any incursions onto its territory or attempts to spark unrest.
