The Head of State underlined that with the collapse of the USSR, the lessons of the war were forgotten, and the politicians of some countries imagined themselves the masters of the world, “It has become common practice to rudely and unceremoniously interfere in the affairs of sovereign states. It is enough only to declare an undesirable country a zone of their interests or a ‘threat’ to national security, as carpet bombing and the overthrow of the ‘undemocratic’ regime will immediately follow.”

The Belarusian leader drew attention that this is the reason why hotbeds of tension are constantly appearing in various corners of the world, destroying countries and entire regions, and added that there’re a lot of such examples.

“We have come to the conclusion that today no state feels protected from external aggression. This is facilitated by the destruction of the fundamental foundations of strategic stability and international security institutions by the countries of the collective West. Their leaders are trying to distract the population of their states from the accumulated internal problems,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasised.

Another negative trend accentuated by the President is ‘total Russophobia which has become a popular political trend among the ruling European elites and their overseas masters’.

“They are hastily creating a frightening image of an external eastern enemy who is supposedly ready to go to Berlin on tanks. Under the guise of myths about democracy and human rights, Western leaders impose a culture of abolition on states, filter peoples through pressure and blackmail, rebellions and proxy wars, and raise a generation for whom hatred becomes a credo of life,” the Head of State accentuated.
