ORSHA, 27 August (BelTA) - Despite Belarus' peace initiatives, the level of military threats around our country is only increasing, State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Aleksandr Volfovich said during a tour of enterprises in Orsha District, BelTA has learned.
“We see military conflicts flaring up in various corners of the world. The 21st century is saturated with such unfortunate events. The situation developing around our country is no exception. Belarus is located in the center of the European continent. Therefore, all the processes happening in the world today also affect our country. We see, unfortunately, that the level of military threats around our country is only growing, despite the peace initiatives, the peaceful proposals that come from the head of state, that originate from the Republic of Belarus, but, unfortunately, hang in the air and remain unanswered by our European neighbors. Destructive rhetoric against our country is also increasing today. We see only some unfriendly steps from our European neighbors towards our country. We are accused of posing a threat to the European continent, as ridiculous as that may sound,” Aleksandr Volfovich said.
In his words, Belarus does not prioritize issues of militarization or increasing the size of its Armed Forces. “We see how the armed forces of Poland and the Baltic states are arming themselves, what kind of rhetoric is directed at us from their side. Attempts to destabilize the situation in the country, orchestrated again by Western curators through our self-exiled opposition, do not cease,” the state secretary said.
The State Secretariat of the Security Council has been tasked with monitoring the fulfillment of objectives related to the supply of new models of weaponry to the Armed Forces and other military organizations of our state. “The purpose of my visit today is to see how the situation is developing at one of the enterprises within the system of the State Authority for Military Industry,” Aleksandr Volfovich added.
