Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has warned Ukrainian authorities against impending attacks on Russian towns, according to the BelTA news. 

In a meeting with employees of the Belshina tire plant in Bobruisk Friday, BelTA reported the President as saying that Ukraine was asking for long-range weapons to hit Russian cities such as "Kursk, Rostov, Orel, Belgorod, and neighboring cities. But I once said in public that under no circumstances must it be done."

Lukashenko revealed that if that became a possibility, Russia would utilize brand new weapons in Kiev "against those who make these decisions. That’s why they are still a little bit apprehensive. But it’s not up to them, it all depends on how Americans will be prodding them into this war."

Commenting on Biden's pledge to provide Ukraine with $1.5 billion monthly, Lukashenko questioned "For what? For war. So it is just the beginning. They, the powerful of this world, have loads of work to do - to re-divide the world. Americans feel they are losing, but they do not want to lose, since it is their wealth. They want to be on top and to rule the whole world."

In early June, the Pentagon decided to provide High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to Ukraine due to the nature of the conflict changing to an "artillery duel".

A senior administration official told reporters that the US would send M142 HIMARS, which have a range of approximately 77 km. He added that the missiles are part of a weapons package for Ukraine valued at $700 million.

As Washington insisted, Kiev assured that the US rocket systems would not be used against Russian territory targets.
