MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) – The so-called civilized world has reached its sunset. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the relevant statement during the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “The so-called civilized world has reached its sunset. That’s for sure. Actions of not only our neighbors but Europe and other forces as a whole (there is no need to delude ourselves about the USA) represent an element of hybrid warfare just like the recent border closure by Warsaw. This is the 21st century for you: closed skies, razor wire, complete rejection of dissenting views. And it is only the beginning.”
Speaking about what it has produced, the head of state noted that, for instance, merchandise shipments from China to the European Union have been affected. However, the People’s Republic of China and Russia have found other ways, including shipments via the Northern Sea Route. “Huge losses have been incurred as a result. Not only in Belarus (we earned something due to transit) but also in Poland. The country earned as much as 65-70% from this Chinese transit. The rest is merchandise shipping via Kazakhstan, Russia, and via Belarus. Our countries accounted for 30-35%. Who has lost money because of that? It is clear who. They are now trying to find a way out. It is unlikely they will succeed. You know what China is and you know their approaches in this regard,” the president revealed the details.
