The Belarusian leader says his country remains an unconditional ally of Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, while saying that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin often joke about who is the bigger aggressor, The Kyiv Post reports.

We have a question that we sometimes discuss jokingly: who is more of an “aggressor” - me or him?, Lukashenko said in a speech during a meeting of the Russian-dominated Eurasian Economic Union, according to the state-controlled Belarusian news agency Belta.
