Ministry of Defense worrying about Poles
11:17, — Politics
Today the head of the Belarusian Ministry of Defense Leanid Maltsau summing up the results of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) Council of Ministers session, declared that the US development of ballistic missile defense close to the Belarusian border (in Poland) can lead to unpredictable consequences; the BMD base will threaten the Polish territory directly.
“The balance of force upset always leads to unpredictable consequences. The countries giving their territories for such systems (the elements of the US BMD) are in special danger, because they are the objects of the first and foremost attacks”, - Maltsau said.
To Maltsau’s opinion, any disposal of any army groups always means military danger. Thus the attitude towards extending of the American BMD can be only negative, he remarked.
As the head of the Belarusian Military Department declared, the problem must be solved, taking into consideration the opinions of all the sides interested including Collective Security Treaty Organization members.
