Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said Tuesday the attackers who carried out last week’s massacre at a Moscow concert hall tried fleeing to his country first, but turned away because of checkpoints.
“That’s why there was no way they could enter Belarus. They saw that. That’s why they turned away and went to the section of the Ukrainian-Russian border,” Lukashenko said, contradicting Russia’s claim they tried crossing into Ukraine first.
