. peace is not a synonym for sacrifice, with these words of the president, the country started talking about updating

the concept of national security document the most important in the work for a long time and saves from such ailments as increased pressure from poland, the diplomatic arrhythmia of the west and, of course , the loss of sovereignty, how the belarusian concept of national security was developed and what was included in the final document, we will receive answers from the state secretary of the security council of belarus alexander volfovich in the draft question number one b the difference between a group of countries, including the post-soviet space, where such documents are of a closed nature. we agreed that nothing would be hidden. it is mine fundamental requirement. you also know that we must openly declare our priorities. show the world community the transparency of our policy reliability in belarus as a responsible partner, but our partners, at the same time, should know that belarusian

peacefulness is not a synonym for sacrifice in the event of any aggression, as i have said more than once, the answer will be quick, tough and adequate. alexander grigorievich hello, thank you for taking the time to talk with us , i’ll get down to business on monday, there was a meeting of the security council with the participation of the president belarus and discussed updating the concept of national security, if possible. here is a more detailed description of how it will be updated. and that the change in the concept of national security will change in it, probably due to the following. well, the first is the instructions that the president gave during the sixth all -belarusian people's meeting on changing the concept of national security, the second topic is the changes that have gone through more than , probably, almost 13 years , the existence of the current concept of national security. at the same time, as i noted by the president, the current concept has not lost its relevance and its position today. uh,

sought after and meaningful and work. that 's why, uh, the president's strict requirement was to leave or push off from the current concept, that is, to maintain the continuity of the current provisions. we left the structure of the concept basis the same here. e, although in general the concept has been updated by 70%. the experience of foreign countries in the development of such strategic documents of the united states was studied. america uh, uk uh. germany france in particular. well, of course, countries that are closer to us countries under the soviet space of this kazakhstan , uzbekistan, and the russian federation as the main strategic partner, moreover, in the twenty-first year, the russian federation adopted a new updated national security strategy, of course, the experience of these documents . we studied the requirements for the head of state to have the work go open and not be closed, that is, our document is,

in principle, an open document. eh, unlike from many uh, foreign countries. here is a public document, so we did not hide anything from anyone, studying the wire. this work, respectively, and in general, the draft concept , which was reported to the head of state at the security council as a whole by the members of the security council, was approved by the head of state, and the president of the country instructed to continue further work on e, discussing the clarification of the provisions of the national security concept. e on dialogue platforms in the teams of our country. that's in order to, as it is written in of the constitution of the republic of belarus to submit it for approval to the entire belarusian people's assembly, the concept of national security is probably the second after the constitution, strategic documents that reveal our national interests. and he tells them how to protect our national interests. i wanted to ask how these two documents interact with each other, because the constitution

was recently updated. and now we are talking about updating the concept of potential security. yes, that's why one of the most important conditions and why the president set such a task. it was to bring the position of the concept of the nation. security to the provisions of the updated constitution that is, to the provisions of the basic law of our life of our state and working on, uh, updating the provisions of the concept of national security. we proceeded from the fact that, uh, they should create conditions for, uh , first of all, the disclosure and protection of the provisions of the constitution of the republic of belarus, so i ’ll ask you, if i may, a question that i saw on monday, many left in internet, how an updated draft of the concept of national security will affect the lives of ordinary belarusians. here they will feel some change or be. maybe they now need to take on a greater responsibility , taking into account the fact that the difficult times around us are also restless, for example, the state of national security. e now e is expanded with such a provision as the sustainable

development of society, that is, the state of protection of national interests from internal and external threats, as it was previously supplemented by the etthesis of sustainable development. development of society, because it is sustainable development that is, probably, the basis for protecting national interests , the basis for developing the prosperity of the state . e, how strategic interests are supplemented by such an important category in accordance with the constitution as the protection of the people of belarus as the only unique historical community of the only source of state power, the concept is expanded or the concept of ensuring ideology along with sovereignty, independence of territorial integrity, is added, improvement of regional and international biological mechanisms. e security what today? if you will? yes , i wanted to ask you, just the same, i understand in the document. there is a new area, national security. it is designated as

biological in the first place. this is apparently related to covid, but the events in ukraine showed that, apparently, there really were other threats. here, if possible. tell us, please, in more detail about this particular situation. the pandemic, of course, has affected many areas of the life of the state. social economic has shown the vulnerability of all e subjects of the international community the closure of borders the closure of states. here. uh, respectively, it entailed various economic costs for the states, what our president was talking about, and this mechanism was not regulated, how to act in these conditions and how to do people did not know faced for the first time, so this is a new area, but not only a pandemic , because, in addition to the pandemic, there are a lot of different infectious diseases outbreaks around the world, as the scope of biological weapons in the military sphere, he said this, because a special military operation that opened the eyes, but not only to us, probably to the entire world community, about the presence, uh,

of a huge number of biological laboratories. e, under the auspices of the united states of america, over 30 laboratories were opened in twelve cities. on the territory of ukraine international regulations. prohibition of the use of chemical weapons and other documents in this area. because, uh, today. it is known that there are biological laboratories of padegida in more than 27 countries , the united states of america 12 such laboratories are located on the territory of armenia 10 on the territory of uzbekistan two laboratories are located on the territory of azerbaijan there is in kazakhstan there is in kyrgyzstan in moldova therefore the belt turns out to be such a belt. uh, from these points of laboratories and in general the well-known four hundred. uh, labs in various uh countries in different cities. here in the world,

which the americans oversee, of course. today this presents certain challenges and security risks. not only belarus of any state, therefore, having assessed this situation, having weighed it, we considered that it is necessary to separate this sphere into a separate sphere of national security, where to decompose the sources of threat, respectively , and, to develop some kind of countermeasures for alexander grigorievich’s response. naturally , biological. this is for us. a new sphere of security, but still, unfortunately, i have to turn to a more traditional one, because i understand that the concepts have turned more, based on the foreign policy situation of the belarusian borders. let's just say that poland has obviously taken a course towards militarization. when you wrote together with the community, you looked at the updated concept of the situation that is happening with our neighbors and understand how we can react in case of emergency, a really military-political situation. our neighbors are, uh, in full swing, militarization. uh,

escalating the situation. what is the purpose of this connected and why is it connected? well, maybe , uh, a sane person. he understands this, probably not to protect his country, but for some other aggressive intentions, the presence of those groups. it outnumbers. er, well, reasonable limits are in place today. there are about 60 more than 60,000 military personnel in europe, more than 260 tanks on a permanent basis, about 800 armored vehicles for 2,000 there 200 combat aircraft. eh, while buying more. at the same time, yes, they are buying, and the fifth in a row is being formed on the territory of poland. uh, the mechanized division, which, uh, is declared to be equipped with the most modern models of non-american equipment. they fit in the head. the poles are trying so much, well, they declared their desire to militarize to buy 500 hymars installations, e jet systems took on the fire of the american ones, all of them, knowing that in the world. today there are about 510 installations. eh, such an appetite. yes, this is

generally around the world, of which there are about 400, in my opinion, 10 installations in the united states of america there are a total, and the poles wanted to purchase 500 for what for what purposes? naturally, uh, industry, the american industry of the company that produces these installations is not able to realize the appetites of poland , so the poles, uh, transferred their desires to uh, south korean companies and similar installations decided to buy k-239 in south korea today. we counted more than 75 exercises since january 1 , 2023 have taken place in the territory. e, poland lithuania latvia, that is, in the beyond territory of an offensive nature e not a defensive nature of the exercise deployment of additional bases by ammunition planning. all this, of course, cannot but cause fears of the baltic countries. unfortunately, more do not lag behind. u, also u declare their desire, u, to continue, uh, to equip their armed forces

with modern american models. well, it's uh, raising the economy. here is the damage to the economic interests of their own before they say that this is a defense against russian aggression from russian aggression. although russia openly says that these foreign territories are not needed, not the russian federation. well, reproaching belarus, of course, all the more so our president has repeatedly said, er, stated that belarus does not need a foreign territory. we have enough of our country, enough of our territory. this is where we must defend our national interests, develop our society, improve the well-being of citizens, which we also included in the concept of the position of the concept of national security, improve the quality of life, develop healthcare education. after all, there is a continuous political pressure of political extremism. i'm by and large, unleashed, hybrid war migration crisis drug trafficking cyber threat. and here is a different list of these threats for various fields of activity. why exactly did he push us to uh, let's put it this way, uh, in more detail. uh, the concept

of a threat to national security. why have we grown through the word danger now to take timely action to see at what stage this danger is, uh, threatening the national interest of our country today uh, the risk is the emerging danger of harming the national interest. uh, a challenge is a potential, emerging a danger that can harm national interests and a threat to national security directly the highest stage that can harm the national interests of our country. therefore , in order for the country's leadership to be able to develop and take appropriate measures in a timely manner, they are also embedded in the concept of national security. naturally. we have decomposed here the concept of threat. here it is, in more detail. alexander grigoryevich, i propose to play a little on the field of our opponents, he informational. yes, after the meeting of the security council , they began to write about what, well, what an updated

concept. well, everything is clear with her , another document of the security forces for the security forces, as it were, which ordinary people in general are in no way concerned with. let's answer them, after all, the concept. how it was created who wrote it, who participated and what what will be its further fate exactly how how? how, when it can be taken. uh, working on the, uh, draft concept, we set up an interagency working group, which included representatives. i have already spoken to 34 e state bodies and organizations, members of the scientific scientific expert community , scientists. uh, representatives of the academy of sciences, that is, our leading institutes of scientific institutes. such as the academy of sciences, the belarusian institute for strategic studies. this document, firstly, was not born in an office somewhere. and we studied each sphere, each position, worked out, argued , looked at everything, weighed everything, as it were, all the pros and cons, in order to add e to this or that sphere.

uh, those, here are the risks, the challenges, the threats that today is to
