MINSK, 26 May (BelTA) – The small country of Belarus is capable of standing against the largest countries. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during the conference held at premises of the Defense Ministry on 26 May to discuss military security, BelTA has learned.
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, it is universally accepted that it is difficult to fight against the countries, which not only have military might but a large population, too. However, this factor does not determine the outcome of military actions as strongly as it did in the past, the commander-in-chief pointed out.
“You have to win with ability, not with numbers as our prominent military leader once said. It is becoming seriously topical now. It means that even such a small country like Belarus is quite capable of resisting the largest countries,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated. “But I stress once again that a hot war is something we know how to do and we will do it if we have to, god forbid. Information confrontation, which precedes a hot war and accompanies any military confrontation, is very important.”
