“We must build our lives without war. This is the top priority. We must have a country that is safe. Therefore, the issue of defence and security is the number one issue. Who needs a country where parents are afraid to let their children go out on the street,” the Belarusian leader emphasised.

He recalled that in the 1990s, crime had to be literally burned out with a hot iron.

“I had to protect the people who elected me President. Now the situation is not the same, we are acting calmly now. Now we see threats on the border. That’s why we’re focusing our attention there,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

At the same time, he pointed out that it is very difficult to fully ensure security in the country without the participation of citizens themselves.

“If you see something extraordinary, something wrong, inform us, we’ll check,” the Belarusian leader urged.

He recalled that there are still ‘armed gangs’ present outside the country near the borders, which are under the radar of our intelligence services.

“We are watching them, figuratively speaking, they have not given up on grabbing a piece of land somewhere and putting conditions on us. This cannot be allowed to happen. So, if something is wrong, tell us, tell the militia, somebody else, give us a hint. We’re a mobile nation. You, too, must preserve peace and security. This is the main thing for us today. This includes information security and other issues. We will try to work in this respect, but with your help,” the Head of State summarised.
