MINSK, 2 December (BelTA) – The collective West shows a strong rejection of the formation of a multipolar world. Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus Vladimir Andreichenko made the statement at the 61st session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union State of Belarus and Russia on 2 December, BelTA has learned.
The MP said: “It should not go unmentioned that not everyone is happy about accomplishments and prospects of the Union State of Belarus and Russia. The formation of the multipolar world causes the collective West and primarily the USA to strongly reject this process. It is where the main reason for their ill-thought policy with catastrophic consequences lies. The policy replaces international cooperation with force, economic cooperation with sanctions, and de-escalation with an arms race. Meanwhile, third countries have to deal with consequences of this policy. The so-called migrant crisis at Belarus' western border is a vivid testimony to that.”
The head of the lower chamber of the Belarusian parliament noted that in violation of all international norms and basic human morality Poland and Lithuania put people's lives and health in jeopardy. “They use force, weapons, and tear gas against civilians, women, and children. One would imagine that such actions should be immediately reprimanded by the European Union and the USA, which deem themselves paragons of democracy. But the West stays silent. Moreover, instead of assistance with the resolution of the situation Belarus gets another package of sanctions. Probably because despite all the complications we offer shelter, food, and medical aid to the refugees and help them return home if possible,” he stressed.
Vladimir Andreichenko pointed out that more and more NATO troops are being deployed near Belarus' western borders and new weapons are being delivered under the veil of the crisis. “Why is it being done? A rhetorical question,” the speaker stated.
