Lukashenka Ready to Wage War Against His Own Nation? :: Charter'97 :: News

The military forces of the country must be able to repulse any potential act of aggression, no matter what its origin is. That is why, not ceding its national interests, Belarus seeks partnership relations with each and all countries, international organizations and alliances. The leadership of the country views the work of the CIS Collective Security Treaty organization as a priority orientation, the president noted.

As said by him, cardinal changes have taken place in the approach to means, methods and forms of a modern war. It objectively makes our state possess all necessary instruments that guarantee sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as an ability to take part in the processes of regional security maintenance as equal partners.

As said by A. Lukashenka, to prevent preconditions for waging armed conflicts and international terrorism, Belarus actively uses diplomatic, international legal and other non-military means. However, their effectiveness to a large extent depends on war potential owned by the country – on highly equipped and combat-capable Military forces. “This constituent is the obligatory instrument of any state, and now its importance grows significantly,” Lukashenka concluded.
