Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a known ally of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, warned on Tuesday that there could be a major global conflict on the horizon.

Speaking at a ceremony for Belarusian officials and top military school graduates, he accused the US and western nations of perpetuating a "multi-polar world order" and bolstering "openly fascist regimes," reported the state-run media outlet Belta. Lukashenko's comments parroted Putin's baseless claims that the Ukrainian government is fascist.

Per Belta, the Belarusian leader also posited without substantiation that Europe "does not decide anything" and is "under Washington's thumb," cautioning Ukraine's military not to lower its guard. Lukashenko also accused the West of trying to "sow chaos and destroy" his country.

"Unfortunately, such a policy of the West is bringing the world closer to the abyss of a big war where there will be no winner," Lukashenko said, per Belta. 

Earlier this month, Lukashenko also said he believed it was time for a "forgetful" Europe to face a "moral cleansing."

The Belarusian leader, however, is not the only influential figure to have warned of another global war. In May, hedge fund billionaire George Soros said Russia's invasion of Ukraine could lead to World War III.
