MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) – I do not yet see any grounds for optimism regarding Eurasian security, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security, BelTA has learned.
“We really want to be optimistic about the future of European and, more broadly, Eurasian security. But the actual processes that we are observing do not yet provide serious grounds for that. Rather the opposite,” the head of state said. “We have repeatedly warned that you cannot divide the common space of trust and avoid consequences. Now we are facing the consequences of such short-sighted policies.”
“Interstate bridges that have been built over decades are collapsing. Markets that fed entire regions are vanishing. Human connections that seemed to outlast political disputes are being broken,” the president stated.
