Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that Western leaders are wrong in refusing to participate in the Victory Day Parade in Moscow on May 9.
"I do not support those politicians who refuse to come to the celebration in Moscow on purpose, although they did seem to want to come earlier."
"It is another thing if they are busy at home. If they have similar celebrations at home, we will welcome it, we will be glad that together with us the Victory Day is celebrated in other countries," the Belarusian president said.
"If it (the refusal to come to Moscow) is an insult against Russia, against those Soviet people and the people of Eastern Europe, who we freed, then such an approach is against those people too and not just Russians who are allegedly fighting in Donbass."
"The refusal to show up is the wrong approach," the Belarusian leader concluded.
