State Secretary of Security Council: Belarus ready to confront any plans of its opponents

Being aware of the plans of Belarus’ opponents, the country is ready to resist them – as stated by the State Secretary of the Security Council, Aleksandr Volfovich, after casting his vote on January 23rd

“We know about the plans of our opponents on the other side of the border, and we have notified them about this more than once. Although they say that this is all speculation and fiction, the man who participated in them [a former militant of the Kalinovsky regiment, Vasily Veremeichik] asserts that there are thoughts of an attempt to seize power by force in Belarus,” Mr. Volfovich said.

According to the State Secretary, the information of such plans makes it easier to build countermeasures and neutralise these challenges so that they do not escalate into threats in the field of national security.

“Appropriate measures have been taken, and decisions have been made in all military structures of the state. All the forces and means of ensuring national security have been mobilised, and they are on a combat alert duty now – each in its own areas and fields of activity. I am confident that we will ensure the security of not only the election, but also the future of our country," Mr. Volfovich added.
