‘Alexander Lukashenko, dictator of Belarus, has handed a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres detailing his and Putin's rationale for the invasion of Ukraine.

Lukashenko repeated Putin's threat that, unless "security guarantees" were forthcoming, the Ukraine war would become "protracted with devastating consequences".

According to the state-controlled Belarusian news agency BelTA, the president urged the Secretary-General to institute a "new world order" under which all sovereign states have "security guarantees".’
