Quote from Lukashenko: "I will say publicly: any provocation must be stopped by armed force. There is no reason to joke with them. If they violate the state border, they must be killed. No one should hesitate. And that's what we will do."

Details: Lukashenko believes that border violators "understand only force". "Therefore, any violation of the state border is subject to punishment by death," he said.

Lukashenko did not specify which countries' citizens are currently violating the border of Belarus.
