MINSK, 30 January (BelTA) - It is important equally important to protect the border and to foresee possible threats in time, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he approved the resolution on the protection of the state border in 2025 in Minsk on 30 January, BelTA has learned.
“Traditionally, at the beginning of a new year, we approve a resolution to protect the state border. Today's document is not just the state border on land, water and air. It is a serious decision to protect the sovereignty and defense of our state,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The president noted that all uniformed agencies from police to the military are involved in the defense of the Belarusian borders, because it is difficult for border troops alone to ensure the protection of more than 3,600 kilometers.
“I will say frankly. Along with the protection of the state border the border troops have another important mission, namely to foresee possible threats in time. Other agencies are also engaged in border protection, but first of all it is the task of our border guards to foresee possible threats to our security. Then, having mobilized all the forces that the country has (from the police to the army, the Defense Ministry), we will be able to confront the enemy,” the head of state said.
