The West has created the preconditions for perhaps the worst economic crisis in history since the Second World War, Head of the Belarus President Administration Igor Sergeyenko said.
Aleksandr Volfovich said: “The situation is complicated and truly tense. The West accuses Belarus in a bid to get the country involved in the military conflict. The West is trying to militarize itself by staging a huge number of military exercises and criticizing us for some aggression."
Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko held a conference on 10 October to discuss security matters. It was a continuation of the conversation with representatives of defense, security, and law enforcement agencies held at premises of the Defense Ministry several days before.
“It is apparent that there are attempts to exert pressure on our judicial and law enforcement systems on the part of foreign states, including with the use of the diplomatic corps. I cannot imagine such a situation happening, for example, in France, Germany, USA. This is unacceptable,” the KGB chairman emphasized.
The KGB chief said: “During the report to the head of state the main problems connected with ensuring national security and the threats emerging in the sphere of foreign-policy activities and the domestic situation were outlined. On the whole, we find that the situation in the country is stable.”
