The Belarusian leader emphasised that life itself forces us to focus on our countries’ defence capabilities above all else.

“By signing the Security Concept of the Union State and the treaty on security guarantees, we are reaching an unprecedented level in our strategic military partnership and co-ordination. That will ensure our ability to safeguard Belarus’ and Russia’s territorial integrity, preserve our sovereignty and independence, and most importantly, guarantee peaceful lives for our citizens,” he said.
