MINSK, 23 June (BelTA) – Belarus is a bridgehead for the battle of the western civilization for Russia's resources, Belarus' Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin said at the plenary session of the 9th Moscow Conference on International Security on 23 June, BelTA has learned.
“We understand that the Republic of Belarus, just like any other country, is only a bargaining chip in the big game for a great reset. Belarus is a bridgehead for the battle for Russia's wealth,” Viktor Khrenin said. “And they will not leave us alone in the global fight for control over the planet,” he added.
It is highly likely that the confrontation in the world will aggravate in the post-coronavirus period, the minister believes. “They will continue using all tools to break independent states. A comprehensive set of measures is already used for this purpose,” he said.
Taking part in forum are defense ministers, chiefs of general staffs, delegations of defense ministries from 109 countries as well as representatives of international organizations – the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the United Nations Organization (UN), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the League of Arab States. Participants of the conference are discussing problems of global and regional stability, various aspects of security in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
