"Belarus has everything necessary to repulse probable nasty tricks against the country," Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a government conference held on 16 August to discuss military security, APA reports citing BelTA.
He stated that Belarus has been in the center of the planet’s geostrategic interests for a long time. “It is one of the reasons, including for growing tensions along our borders. We have also been observing for a long time that beyond borders of our country all kinds of regiments, as they pompously call them, and entire corps are being formed, especially from among our self-exiled opposition in order to invade Belarus in a certain period of time and seize power, reverse the country’s course. We’ve also seen that and know it. Since we know it, we have always been preparing for counteracting these people. Particularly security agencies and the army did. Primarily the army,” the president noted.
“As the minister, the state secretary, and the KGB chief always tell me, we are ready, completely prepared to counteract any threats that exist against Belarus. As far as I understand, we have everything for repulsing probable nasty tricks against Belarus. I don’t want to say attacks and strikes,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.
