MINSK, 7 March (BelTA) - Attempts to destabilize the situation in Belarus ahead of and during the election campaign failed thanks to concerted action of the country’s defense and law enforcement agencies, Assistant Defense Minister for Ideological Work in the Armed Forces - Head of the Main Department of Ideological Work Leonid Kasinsky said in a new episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA’s YouTube channel.
Earlier, at a large meeting with the senior staff of the country’s national security bodies Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said that the self-exiled opposition and their foreign handlers from intelligence services are working out three main scenarios.
“If we consider the three scenarios that our Commander-in-Chief mentioned, they have a common basis and are built on a single platform. The first scenario, voiced by the Commander-in-Chief, included attempts to destabilize the situation during the recent election campaign. As we can see, this scenario failed,” Leonid Kasinsky said.
According to the assistant defense minister, this scenario was doomed because of concerted action of the country’s defense and law enforcement agencies. “Somewhere on the distant borders attempts [of provocations] were stopped. And there were many such attempts,” he emphasized.
According to Leonid Kasinsky, today opponents of Belarus are trying to work on the mistakes of 2020. “They are doing it clumsily. But the search for triggers, which can destabilize the situation, continues,” he concluded.
