Lukashenko urges to cherish peace in Belarus

MINSK, 9 May (BelTA) – We need to cherish peace and harmony in our own home, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said during the flower ceremony at the Victory Memorial in Minsk as Belarus celebrated the 72nd anniversary of the Great Victory on 9 May, BelTA has learned.

“Vigilance and security of the state are of particular significance today. We need to cherish peace and harmony in our home. We must stay united and firm, like our fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers during the time of severe ordeals. Then nobody will dare to test our strengths. We must preserve peace on our land in the name of the memory of those hundreds of thousands of the soldiers who were killed on the fronts, one third of the population that we lost. It will be the greatest gift to not only living veterans but, most importantly, to those who gave their lives for everything that we have today,” the Belarusian leader said.

Alexander Lukashenko noted that the international tensions are increasing today, the idea of world domination is being revived. Armed conflicts are raging in different parts of the world. Humanity has come to the brink of a new big war.

The Belarusian president highlighted the threats to Belarus. “We see military arsenals build up near our borders. Literally next door, in the former Soviet republics, they set up military bases, conduct combat drills. Using our domestic fifth column they are making attempts to destabilize the situation inside the country,” the head of state said.
