MINSK, 12 July (BelTA) – The Western countries, contrary to their own interests, are destroying the system of global security, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a ceremony to honor graduates of military schools and high-ranking officers in Minsk on 12 July, BelTA has learned.
"The events that are unfolding around Belarus and Russia today require extreme vigilance and concentration. Led by the United States, the Western countries have been destroying the system of global security consistently, methodically and even against their own national interests and wishes of the peoples," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
This purposeful policy has, eventually, led to the military conflict in Ukraine, the president noted.
