what a real leader wants to go and work. so, the vectors of development of the belarusian society and the state have been determined . a lot of work ahead . the most important messages . republic of belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko

dear friends i am absolutely aware. it just so happened, perhaps by the command of the lord

. perhaps, you and i had such a policy, that millions of millions of eyes are watching this hall today. sorry for the indiscretion, i will not hide it outside our country. i of course, i carefully followed all your wishes in the media . i saw who and what i would like to hear today. i understand you, but you understand me today i am limited by certain limits. first, this is the president's annual message. secondly, it is a concentrated look at the situation in the country and beyond its borders and tasks for the future, and thirdly. we provided answers to questions

so such a democratic move. it was undertaken long ago by our parliaments by the president. and if i have not touched on any issue of any problem facing the state of our people. you have the opportunity to clarify something or ask additional questions. i think that together with you we will find answers today to all the questions that our society faces. the topic of our today's event, if it is possible, is to designate in general terms the conditions for maintaining sovereignty and independence of this topic. everything is very simple never before in the history of our country, especially our independent belarus, the issue of sovereignty and independence was so acute never before in history have we approached such

a dangerous line when it is necessary to pay special attention, to put it mildly, to the preservation of the sovereignty and independence of our country. i mean our recent history, so i will try to state the main conditions. from my point of view, of course, this is not absolute. in my opinion. the main thing is that through them i will try to define our current tasks , first of all for the current year, since this is the president's annual message, but, of course, through current problems. we will try to look beyond the horizon to see and to think, and which way to go, and what mistakes we made and what will we do? tomorrow and the day after. well, of course, we'll start with the general, without which it is impossible to determine the threads

of the heap, not a promising task. for more than a quarter of a century, dear friends, in our country there has been a tradition of the annual address of the president to the belarusian people and the parliament. this is a kind of political dialogue in which all the presidents of the government, heads of all levels, deputies, a public organization and our citizens take part. of every belarusian the topics that we discuss from life. in the center of the decisions that the desire to preserve the world makes, the creation of value, i will say more, this is the basis of our national idea, which the present time has clearly defined and we should all serve this idea in word and deed, especially now, when the planet is getting

smaller and smaller places of safety and dignity. in the pursuit of peaceful construction, despite the challenges that time poses. we are belarusians. not alone are few who like to see sparks along the line, west east. as new dividing lines appear, the iron is lowered again, no one wants to experience the consequences of insane and useless sanctions wars. and this is the main thing, the peoples do not understand how it can be compatible with the ideology of the global international project of sustainable development with such achievements of our time, as it has never happened and the famine of the epidemic has not yet happened. such a development can hardly be called civilizational, just like the fact that the world spends trillions of dollars on killing people and ruining states, and not

for creation. this is the deepest crisis, a comprehensive multilateral, in many respects man-made scientific destruction of competitors of this kind, too, in history there will be no change in the world, it will be completely different. this is the whole essence of the historical moment, a premonition of epochal changes. literally hovering in the air just like the question. what will our tomorrow look like, and before trying to look beyond the horizon, as i said, it is necessary to give an honest and principled assessment of the events that played the role of a trigger in a process that can no longer be the conflicts of the last decades. with irrepressible desire from the west to subjugate the whole world and not even the smell of one country. from the transition from self-sufficient, sometimes very strong, truly independent states

to external control. it, like a virus, penetrated into the political life of the country, either through the current government or through the opposition, as a rule, through the elites, plunging into frenzied corruption, because whoever has what to lose whoever has a foreign bank account with six zeros will serve anyone and as you like, it happens that under external control. entire nations turned out to be intoxicated with the ideas of creating a new country , a new similar ideological bomb was planted in all the former soviet republics. and now we see how they detonate. first, the country is covered by soft cultural expansion, soft power, and then trampled under the boot of a foreign mercenary. that is, while the people are distracted by the struggle by themselves, renouncing

the past traditions, carried away by the national question and all sorts of liberalist land projects. resources. national values ​​become the property of foreign corporations and financial institutions. and for the management of exactly the places are selected by the type of our running. the territory of the country is turning into a field for experiments , an enlightened society being introduced, is on the verge of poverty, and the country is on the verge of plunder, in other words, trouble comes where people themselves open the doors to her. the most indicative, very dramatic example is very close by near our southern border, where the slaughter will not stop until the overseas master gives the go-ahead for ukraine does not need peace. well, who

cares about the opinion of this very people. there you are and all independence in general terms , let's touch on it, while i want to notice. in this format, i do not want to dive deep into the events of the ukrainian crisis. although i was at the epicenter of this crisis. like no one else, i was immersed in what is happening in ukraine, and now i have not got out of there. i am there, perhaps even more than a single one, who must thus be immersed in the causes of development and the consequences of this conflict, therefore, in the middle of the second decade, from that time, the countdown of what is happening until now began. leapfrog in power

exorbitant corruption the poverty of the vast majority of the population unacceptable nationalism with elements of fascism the ban on the russian language the destruction of everything connected with the period of the soviet union of the heroic past in this and ukraine , we can’t agree and allow the latter in any way, because to glorify those who burned khatyn and hundreds villages on the territory of belarus we will never agree. at that time, the main foreign policy trend after the coup. as you remember , ukraine was joining nato and proposals the north atlantic bloc to place its military base on the territory of ukraine was done carefully. i remember this under the guise of training centers. learn extraordinary measures,

having included crimea in russia , remember without a single shot what happened there and why did the ukrainians not heroically defend their native land then? the future will have to figure it out. the events in the east of ukraine, the donbass, became a continuation of the policy of destroying everything russian, and the ideology of fascism is already turning fascism into the practice of killing those who disagree and setting fire to the flames of which speak in russia and its leadership forced the president of the russian federation to take measures to protect the russian people. by the way, i want to remind those who are especially crazy in russia today. after all, you then demanded from putin to stop the genocide of a russian person in the donbass

, you pushed the russian authorities to ensure that this protection was carried out and the borders. not to help. russian people in the donbass well, that's right, by the way, and the confrontation went to the east of ukraine, which led to human casualties. you remember it too. and then being again i emphasize the whirlpool of these events very deeply, immersed in these events. i remember how all sorts of messages were sent from one president to another and sent different messages by a messenger. it was very important for me to stop this war. and when nothing worked. i took a risk. i suggested well since it happened between close brothers and people. let's then stand between you

, border troops are marching on that 450 km border, which the ukrainians demanded to immediately give under the control of ukraine. but even for this the then leaders of ukraine did not go, but when the negotiations became a fait accompli , remember here in minsk, as now it became known that the time won. these were not negotiations. it was a cover. it was a deception and the time gained was used by the west to militarize ukraine and arm its army. remember recently the mediators who came here merkel and announced this as a frenchman. we are heroes. we then suspended the massacre in order to give from that time preparations for a full-scale war with russia

understand the highest threat of war, the leadership of the russian federation demanded security guarantees from the sponsors of the transformation of ukraine into anti. how did it end? we know to be honest. today, lately, i have been very often with certain influential krug seriously. so what did putin propose? it was not a serious offer. we just couldn't go for it. i bring them from the guys, but if it was a frivolous proposal and it doesn’t mean anything, i asked putin. give written guarantees. well , why didn't you write these guarantees to him? well in at the right moment, as usual, you would spit on these guarantees, but when the war lived across the shore, why didn’t you provide on paper, at least these guarantees, silence? through the efforts of the united states and their satellites

, a full-scale war was unleashed in our native country to the last ukrainian, i quote, as a result of which about half a million people died and maimed on both sides during the year alone, millions became refugees on the horizon. as a result , the third world war loomed with nuclear fires , you can still talk a lot about this period, but not in this case. today, that's not the point. today is uniquely everything you understand and know the way one negotiates negotiations without preconditions. well, what kind of miracles does the president of a sovereign independent country thieves about the world? well, it's just ridiculous, i'm telling you as president, if you don't want to

negotiate, then you don't see. why sign this decree and make all people laugh, what do you want to demonstrate by this my contacts at the beginning of the conflict with vladimir zelensky consisted in one thing, i was just friendly and brotherly. if if you want, the boys always tried to turn in the right direction from my point of view. i always tell him. you think the war is on your land on your territory. today you will be a hero, you will be at the head, you will ride there under mahmut, aka artyom, to exclude awards, and time will pass, people will ask you, why didn’t you prevent the war? why didn't you do everything to prevent this war from happening? and when did it start? why didn’t you stop her and innocent people are dying, i told him, not your children. not your relatives. they may

somewhere on the cote d'azur they are having fun, but those who should not die and their relatives, if they die, ask , well, okay, between us, speaking in folk terms, well , a man died, and a crippled man without a leg, without an arm, without two legs, in wheelchairs, who is being transported, who needs him? and if he doesn’t have relatives who can watch him, what then ? i always begged and begged. now now they don't tomorrow. why is the answer simple? we are slowly harnessed, but they drive fast and you see, if russia used to, to be honest, it also asked us for weapons and ammunition in order to

protect itself. why because the military-industrial complexes will unfold at full capacity, and it will be difficult for the world to speak. this is a russian cart by inertia. if in terms of quality, then it will not seem a little. for now it's possible. on the other hand, if ukraine is stuffed with western weapons, there will no longer be soviet weapons left there. if retraining the military will pass on the other side, there will also be an armada and we will lose not half a million killed by cripples.

therefore, it is necessary to stop now, before the escalation begins and i will try to risk it, and then in the donbass there is another moment, a different situation, and taking into account those conditions , it is necessary to stop hostilities . and technology. everything is dead frozen. and if the west once again tries to use there was a pause in the fighting somehow. to strengthen his position, he again deceived. it was russia's duty to use the full power of the vc and the army to prevent the escalation of the conflict. and phosphorus munitions and depleted uranium and enriched uranium should all go into action. and to him or from the other side of russia, the movement of troops, the preparation for the attack

, the military is scorching me. all issues of territorial restoration, security and so on must and can be resolved at the negotiating table without preconditions. it's funny. diplomats understand when you go for negotiations. what are the preconditions? i'll say more. this should not be hidden to anyone from one side or the other of the military and people do not understand why they are fighting at the front, people do not understand why they are fighting for what they must go to die tomorrow. we survived that war, but we understood that we were defending our land, and the nazis killed not only the military, but wanted to engage in massacre. frankly, military children, fight, but then the nazis burned everything.

we know it. it was another war. and then one side understood that she is both of you today the parties understand that it is impossible to achieve victory. especially since the ukrainians believe that they will win. this stupidity is impossible to defeat a nuclear power. and if the russian leadership realizes that the situation threatens the collapse of russia, it will be about the most terrible weapon that cannot be allowed, but the third one is dangerous. these are not people who do not understand why they are fighting on the line of contact and will agree. i'm giving you insider information. it has already begun, clan commanders, platoon commanders. the battalion commanders begin to negotiate, it comes to the point that they they tell the russians that a blow will be struck in this square tomorrow; the christians leave

, they struck back, and vice versa, the information is on the other hand, where the ukrainians understand that tomorrow the russians will be struck in this square. they are told a gift will be struck, they leave. people at the front, those nationalists do not want to fight. the national fascists, whom we called so, they are no longer there, unfortunately, he, too, were people who are not there, who are fighting are fighting mobilized. well, imagine yourself at the front. here sitting here imagine not quite prepared often not dressed. very often hungry rotting in the trenches. they want to fight in their head. the wife is the beloved woman of the kids.

with wild eyes that they see in a dream in dirty sharks that they howl, and this is the main thing, therefore, from the earth to the air to the lord god, what problem does not take, one world and the world, and we must go to these negotiations, go directly, do not expect mediators. outside the west, not from the east, it is necessary to understand ukraine, and maybe dispersed, including, although the economic may be incommensurable. what if tomorrow in some part of the planet, but sparks flare up everywhere the slightest conflict about ukraine will be forgotten. no one will bring them or give them weapons. and then what? even if not defeated alone, they will not recover the country, so he gathered his brains in his fists, holding his head. we must clearly understand how to sit down at the negotiating table and negotiate. well, you are now like you, you hear a lot of talk about contouring and

a reversible escalation of the conflict will lead to it, you understand that it will happen to count on victory, as i said. with states, the war is not somewhere far away in afghanistan in syria in libya, it is already we have. there was a sharp conflict behind our fence, and then they approached the only military option in order to break us. this is what happens. there will always be a reason. they are trying to drag belarus into the war, our neighbors are especially zealous. these facts cannot be hidden. only the facts for military needs only in the twenty-third year, poland plans to allocate about 21 billion euros. or

about three percent of the gross domestic product is 70% more than in the previous twenty-second year with a dampness of 28 billion euros more than four percent. gdp is two times more, which nato demanded why who threatens it poland is the second at an accelerated pace , the rearmament of the army, and of an offensive nature, only in accordance with the latest contracts. poland will soon receive 366 abrams tanks and a thousand south korean black panthers, as well as 900 k-91 self-propelled howitzers in a thousand and a half infantry fighting vehicles that they produce themselves. third , a decision was made to increase the size of the armed forces to 300,000 people in 1935,

that is, almost twice as much. the more the implementation of these plans brings warsaw to a leading position among nato countries in europe, this is done by the americans deliberately. fourth , at the same time , the transfer of nato troops to the east is proceeding at an accelerated pace. block grouping only in poland and the baltic countries. today it has more than 21,000 military personnel, 2,500 tanks, almost 500 armored vehicles, about 150 aircraft and helicopters, and this whole armada is defiantly training near the borders of belarus and russia. subsequent coup in belarus

the time will come. we will lay it all out for you today, no time is running out, painstaking closed work, but trust us. i never deceived you. they are preparing to invade the territory of belarus in order to destroy our country , they are making our white militants, and in a simple way , they don’t feel sorry for the bandits, they don’t feel sorry for them. we also have this information. first experience. today they receive in ukraine the truth, more like cannon fodder. the sixth is simultaneously preparing and throwing terrorists into our country for carrying out sabotage and acts of intimidation , they are trying to create an underground extremist cell to coordinate protest activities and transfer weapons and financial resources. you think it's all just that. they have specific plans, and they are not shy about talking openly about it with a few

quotes. inspector general of the german armed forces, colonel-general thorn at the end of last year, belarus can quote belarus can enter the war in this case , nato member countries should start covert operations against targets on its territory. we are not yet entered. nowhere they have already started it, we must prepare to support political changes in eastern europe by military means , you see, we saw this in 1920, they want political changes, but with a gun in their hands, such changes can become the democratic revolution and the popular uprising in belarus minister of defense of poland then same at the end of last year. if ukraine

fails to achieve a decisive victory in the east, then nato should seriously consider opening a second front against belarus at one of the closed meetings, he agitated those present for this. and another madness. commander of the 101st airborne division of the united states, major general of magic belarus is one of the possible targets, he and the 101st division are prepared to occupy strategic points on the territory of belarus. these are just a few quotes recently, a few facts obtained by our intelligence. circumstances and the military-political

situation around our country negotiations with russian president putin on his return to belarus of nuclear weapons precisely on the return of nuclear weapons, which were withdrawn in the nineties then under the guarantee of no sanctions against those who withdrew no pressure, no planning for the offensive and the revolution, everything was trampled, everything was violated. i have the right to raise the question of the return of nuclear weapons, which even before me, the madmen signed obligations to return them. i remember when they put pressure on me, i suspended this conclusion, i did not begin to withdraw weapons in the ninety-fourth ninety-fifth year. i was subjected to the most severe pressure from not only the west but from the president of russia i said, no, i

will not withdraw. and as i remember now, he tells me, well, you understand, crush destroy, yes, and you will not be able to serve strategic warheads. do you remember that at that time the most modern weapons were in service here. poplar, which is still in the russian federation. but then we had incredible pressure, except for our own currency in the form of bunnies, there was nothing. what was left to us as a legacy, and i was forced to retreat under certain guarantees, everything is trampled. everything is forgotten. results known, i am not trying to intimidate or blackmail anyone, once again i say this, the lord is with them. i want to secure the belarusian state and ensure peace for the belarusian people with my history with my whole existence. my people deserved this under

the whip, we don’t want to live anymore and we won’t be slaves. dear friends in our history, i am telling you as a historian. it was to defend its sovereignty. remember i told you an expensive thing and asked you if you are ready to pay for it? sovereignty means only we citizens of belarus have the right to speak about their national interests and determine national ideas for further development on the territory of their own state. therefore, today i would like to talk, as i already stated at the beginning about the main conditions that will ensure the real sovereignty of our state, to talk about what else we must do together, we must do together

so that no one enters our door. and if they left, then only in peace and only friends. the first condition of sovereignty and independence national unity we belarusians have always demonstrated it at critical moments. history, it was unity that gave us the strength to defeat enemies and circumstances. so it was during the years of the revolutionary lily, when the belarusian people did not miss the chance to create a founded national state. so it would be impossible without the desire of belarusians to live in one family, as it was during the years of world war ii, when the invaders faced, in truth, all popular resistance unprecedented in the history of the world. and moreover, i will include who stood with us, then in the forests and swamps. our slavs are ours russian people from here answer why are we with

them today? in the difficult post-war period in the dashing nineties, during the period of world crises and the pandemic, belarusians have always been united in the face of difficulties and challenges. i heard you. you heard me. together, all together, we withstood the draft and liberal models pulled the country out of ruin from the abyss , we preserved the continuity of historical eras and traditions and all strategic decisions. we accepted ourselves as if we were not accused that someone controls us themselves. adopted by an overwhelming majority of votes referendums in elections, supporting the political lines of the country, which is followed by almost three decades of the majority. we survived in the twentieth. this is obvious even to those who controlled that barbaric blitzkrieg.

true, it would be time for them to publicly admit their defeat in a humanely kind way, meeting, again, with those westerners. i told them guys. well lost, well lost. well, admit that you lost and let's start building somehow our relationship, which is possible to build today. you know, analyzing the events of the twentieth year, i will say a seditious thing learning from those events. we quite rightly don't want this, we don't want it to happen again, but if it wasn't for the twentieth year, it would have to be invented. august of the twentieth showed who is, who august of the twentieth showed our miscalculations , concentrated our attention on the inadmissibility

of complacency and laxity. we thought it was good than the other especially the neighbors where it constantly storms. but no, it turned out that a certain part of society does not like it. and it doesn't need what part, what's not to like we know today. but it was a very important moment in our history, and thank god that it was and thank god that it ended with this, and after that i constantly draw your attention, do not relax. do not relax , repeat it all. did everyone hear me, to be honest, not all, but i have to. and most importantly, then in the twentieth we are on the tooth. what is called tried they will not give us. we said so to the twentieth. and today we see that they do not allow us to live in peace. taking advantage of

the respite between the political battles of last year's majorities at the constitutional level, we have identified the kind of new strategic directions. moreover, they preserved the continuity of political traditions. this is the most important achievement in the history of our states. i am extremely grateful to all of you who joined in the discussion of the new edition of the basic law, then took part in the referendum for 22 years. these are millions of such, unanimity is our history. didn't know tens of thousands of sentences. all the constructive ideas analyzed were considered and reflected, if the constitution, then in other normative legal acts. i just think say it or not. well, the fight has begun. many say that lukashenka made this constitution for himself. sorry, i'm not doing it and i can frankly tell you. i didn't

interfere. this suggestion process came from me. the constitutional commission was created from different representatives of different strata of society and carried these proposals. we did it publicly, so there is no need to reproach. something i adopted the constitution but even if we proceed from this, believe me. my age is ending and i don’t make any constitution for myself will. i remember when i came to power. then they choked, they poisoned, they shot, but a team of a dozen people survived and people believed us here, gray-haired people are sitting and even those who are.
