MINSK, 27 September (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko was asked what Belarusian TV channels he prefers to watch during a meeting with students of engineering and technical universities in Minsk on 27 September, BelTA learned.
The information war is underway, the president said. He cited the activities of the Ukrainian special operations unit CIPsO (Center for Information and Psychological Operations) as an example: “They lie non-stop.”
“Remember Bucha in Ukraine? It was an information and psychological operation, and our intelligence clearly established who was behind it. It was the UK, they organized it. Our guys did well. They tracked everything: license plates, their arrival there and so on,” Aleksandr Lukashenko revealed some details. “These are information and psychological operations. They do it all the time.”
“We try to respond. But I believe that truth should be at the core. Why lie?” There is the information war going on today. Thank God it's information warfare for now. God willing, it will not turn into a hot war. We are trying to counter them in the information war,” the head of state emphasized.

He said that the launch of First News TV Channel, a new TV channel in Belarus, was a response to the actions of ill-wishers in the information war.
“I criticize it too. But it has started doing better. It's a good channel. There is something I and my youngest son discovered recently. It turns out we don't watch other channels anymore. We turn on this channel to get daily news run-downs,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
According to him, it is important to raise the level of other domestic TV channels. “This channel has already overshadowed the others,” the president noted.
He also said that he often watches the Belarus 3 TV channel which covers the cultural life of the country.
