Opinion: Belarus is important geopolitical point for the West in the latter's confrontation with Russia

A deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus, Oleg Gaidukevich, commented on the statements of some fugitives who have recently begun to call for decisive action to resolve ‘the crisis’ in Belarus

“People who called themselves Belarusians have begun to openly call for bombing the country: that is, the former presidential candidate allows bombing Belarus, where our families and children live. How can a politician – though what kind of a politician she is – call for bombing her native country? Moreover, why terrorist attacks and bombing are now proclaimed? The reason is simple: two years have passed since 2020, and they no longer have any influence not only inside, but also outside Belarus. The West already treats them [the fugitives] as talking heads that will do what is needed. That is why terrorist attacks are now discussed, since they see no other way to change the government in our country. The use of weapons is the only solution for them,” Mr. Gaidukevich said in his talk with Alfa Radio.

According to the deputy, the fate of Belarus and the peace here depend on what is happening in Ukraine. “The more effective the special operation is, the fewer resources are left to shake up the situation here, to prepare any terrorist attacks and destabilise the situation. Our citizens should know that Belarus continues to be an extremely important geopolitical point for the West in its confrontation with Russia. They will never abandon their plans to turn our country into an anti-Russian blazing bridgehead. A civil war and terrorist attacks are desirable for them here,” he explained.

Summing up, Mr. Gaidukevich stressed that such attempts will continue, while we will effectively fight them – as this has been happening over the past 30 years. To do this, citizens should be united, support the country’s defence and law enforcement agencies and develop Belarus.
