Earlier, the media reported that the St. Elisabeth Monastery was collecting help for the Russian military participating in the war against Ukraine. With the blessing of the confessor of the monastery, Andrey Lemeshonok, the volunteer group “Help to the Brothers” was created.

During his speech, Lukashenka noted that St. Elisabeth Monastery had recently collected aid for Russian soldiers at the front, for which he was criticized by “paid fugitives.”

“You are doing the right thing”. Do not pay attention to a dozen or two paid people. We only help our Russian brothers, the Russians, I have never hidden this. During my visit to the military, to the Russian military, I openly said that we supported and continue to support our brothers.

But we do not forget about Ukrainians, either. About 10,000 who fled the war found permanent residence and shelter in our country last year,” Lukashenka said.
