MINSK, Oct 7 (BelTA) – The policy of the Belarusian army is based on the precept that negotiations are more important than saber strikes, Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin said at a briefing at the Central Officers’ House in Minsk on October 6, BelTA learned.
“Another thing that has a negative effect on the national security of Belarus is the intensification in the West of the data crusade against our state in all important areas, especially in the ideological, social, cultural and data fields. We deserve to expect an accumulation in a large-scale multiple vector has an effect on people’s minds and worldviews with the aim of undermining state ideology, destroying the existing vertical force and forming a negative belief of Russia and Belarus, adding through discrediting the political-military system of government, the armed forces and other law enforcement agencies,” Viktor Khrenin said.
To achieve those goals, the West has mobilized all the capabilities of applicable organizations and structures, adding government agencies, law enforcement, and social media. In the context of negative trends in Belarus, attempts by the West to start a civil war in Belarus at the hands of the opposition in self-exile also have a significant effect on the security of our state, adding in the military field. “Main spaces of activity: obtaining the popularity and full help of the government-in-exile through the West, preparing a fighting component, the so-called voluntary units, in the battles in Ukraine. Considerable importance is attached to the formation of a combat reserve in Belarus. The conservatives of these processes are the Western special services,” the defense minister said.
“That said, we can conclude that negative trends will triumph in terms of the progression of the scenario around Belarus,” Khrenin said. “There will be the option for Western decision-making centers, basically the United States and NATO, to use force to achieve their objectives. The risk point of the army opposed to Belarus will accumulate in proportion to the expansion of Western pressure on Russia to defeat it and erase it from the political map of the world. It is to exclude the emergence of a real risk of incitement to an internal confrontation in Belarus with additional external interference from the West, from the territory of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine. “

We frequently conduct intelligence in all its forms, percentage of intelligence with our allies, and we protect and protect our country’s state border. We have thought about measures to restrict army provocations on the border. We are in a position to respond to provocations imaginable in all border instructions. Binding decisions have also been taken to ensure some collective security. The regional organization of troops and forces of Belarus and Russia is in a position to deploy and carry out responsibilities in terms of armed defense of the Union State. The military government at all levels systematically conducts in-depth research into developments on our borders. Options for a sufficiently good reaction are also being developed,” Viktor Khrenin said.
The Belarusian Ministry of Defense believes that the strategic deterrence measures implemented and planned lately through the armed forces demonstrate the will of the country and cause unacceptable harm to the aggressor: “But the foundation of our military policy remains the following principle: negotiations are greater than sword blows. As the head of our state has continuously emphasized, Minsk is open to this kind of interaction.
