MINSK, 18 October (BelTA) – The collective West seeks to change the government in Belarus, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he made personnel decisions in the state security system on 18 October, BelTA informs.
“I want to emphasize that the situation remains tense, and we should not be complacent. You know better than anybody that the failed coup attempt did not change the plans of the opponents. The collective West continues to interfere in the domestic affairs of the country. They seek to change the government, and, what is the most dangerous thing for us, to destroy the independence of our state. We must remember that. All of us and especially you must realize and feel it every day, every hour,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.
“They use sanctions, finance protests, extremism, terrorism. Militants are selected and trained. We not only know it, we work with it,” the Belarusian leader said.
