Security Council’s address: Belarus has been and remains an ally of Russia
Belarus’ Foreign Ministry has posted an appeal of the country’s Security Council
"Belarus has been and remains an ally of Russia, fully sharing its goals and objectives. This is a difficult, forced and justified mission to protect Russian people in Donbass. In fact, a struggle for the future of the Slavic world is in full swing.
Belarusians and Russians are fraternal peoples, our states are connected by a political union. We cannot stay away from the events that are taking place in the south of Russia.
Any provocation, any internal conflict in military and political circles, in the information field and civil society is a gift to the collective West. Even if the interested forces are not at the origin of such scenarios, they will not miss the chance to develop and lead them. This can lead to a disaster. There has been nothing scarier in the history of Russia than the turmoil – which is destructive and meaningless in its essence.
The happening events are not worth the consequences, the losses that emotional decisions and illegal actions can lead to.
The interests of the people, the lives of ordinary citizens, and the integrity of Russia are at stake.
We call for the voice of reason. In this difficult time, all those involved in an unacceptable confrontation within the military brotherhood united for their own purposes are needed where the future of the Slavic world, the fate of millions of our people is being decided. Belarusian people have always been with Russia and will remain doing so," the appeal reads.
