Belarus' Deputy Foreign Minister: NATO brought security crisis back to Europe
Actions of NATO and the EU make some countries face choices that tear their peoples and territories apart, said Belarus’ Deputy Foreign Minister Yuri Ambrazevich in his address to the OSCE Ministerial Council on December 5th
According to Mr. Ambrazevich, the result was that the European security system, built painstakingly by people who remembered the horrors brought in by the greatest war of the 20th century, crumbled before our eyes. For Ukraine, its collapse proved even more terrifying.
“Who is next?” asked the Deputy Foreign Minister.
Like Soviet diplomats decades ago, Belarus today has one clear goal. We want acceptable and lasting security guarantees for our people and our allies as much as everyone. We are ready to sit at the negotiating table tomorrow, because we are convinced that a decade of talks is better that even a few days of war.
“Belarus is just another proof of that. All attempts by the US and the EU to destroy Belarus with sanctions or build a wall around it, have been rendered futile by our ally Russia, our strategic partner China, people from the Global South, the global majority who feel the same and are coming ever closer together,” he concluded.
