Lukashenko instructed to inform citizens on situation around Belarus: otherwise, the 2020 events might repeat
During today’s meeting, the President instructed the military bloc to continue informing Belarusians on the situation that is developing around the country
The Head of State said that his first order following the results of the meeting held last week at the Defence Ministry’s Strategic Management Centre concerned informing the population about the situation around Belarus.
“Otherwise, everything will be like in 2020: we know everything here, we seem to understand, but our people do not know this. It is necessary to inform them. I know that there have been several such informational meetings. We have agreed today with the State Secretary [of the Security Council] that we – without simplifying – will inform the entire population of our Belarus, especially large enterprises, at the highest level,” the President added.
Aleksandr Lukashenko indicated the purpose of such events and meetings (like the one held last week on the issues of pricing and inflation), “The main goal is to remove the points of tension and discontent among people.”
