MINSK, 6 April (BelTA) – Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin explained the reason behind Belarus-Russia military exercise Zapad 2025 in the latest episode of the Vremya Pervogo [Time of the First] project on the First News TV channel, BelTA has learned.
“We hold the exercise by our own decision, independently, without looking at the Western countries. This is done to improve the level of training of our military personnel, the level of interaction between the armed forces of Belarus and Russia. We do it for ourselves, to prove that we are ready to defend ourselves. We do not threaten anyone,” Viktor Khrenin said.
While the United States is talking about peace, NATO countries are sharpening their knives. State Secretary of the Security Council Aleksandr Volfovich mentioned Europe's aggressive response to a possible peace process in Ukraine. “Europe is not interested in peace. This is probably the worst thing today,” Aleksandr Volfovich said.
No one in Europe takes into account the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine, the state secretary of the Security Council added. “It would be great if Trump could bring his proposal to its logical conclusion and contribute to the cessation of hostilities and the achievement of peace between Russia and Ukraine,” he said.
