head game, watch on tv channel belarus 24.

we welcome all viewers, thank you for being with us, the external situation is very difficult, it requires extreme vigilance, the threats look like this: there is war in the south, in the west , poland-lithuania, the baltic states are even worse, i emphasize that even worse, the corresponding detachments of the regiments are being trained there. have been identified, we know them, we also know the fighters of these units, in quotes, who are ready to fight against of our own country, therefore, as i always tell the military, and especially the minister of defense,

we should not pretend anything, well , of course, we will talk about the global threat in licenato today, because with their exercises they throw up a very serious threat. a reason to talk about understanding how we will react, but i would like to build on this formulation, for starters, poland, the baltic states, the corresponding detachments are being trained there, the commanders have been identified, but we also remember this phrase from the president that in the south war, on in the western direction, the threat is even worse, andrei petrovich, let’s talk about what, what threat we are talking about in the first place, well , let’s just say that the head of state, approving the decision to protect the state border, as a border guard himself... understands perfectly well that everything begins and the homeland begins with the state border, and the security of our country also begins with the state border, it was not for nothing that he said that these first meters of land are sacred for any border guard, and the fact that today

we have a common state border, for example, with ukraine there are about 1084 km, we have a common border with the european union of about 1205. do we have a hot spot on our territory today, probably there is one, and this hot spot is precisely our state border. look, the militarization of the nato bloc, what poland is doing today, concentrating its forces, this is first of all known to everyone, this is already a safe underworld, which is not safe at all, where units of a mechanized brigade have been deployed, where special detachments of snipers are already concentrated. who are probably doing by shooting those people who are trying to flee precisely to the territory of this democratic free europe. what are the baltic countries, lithuania and latvia doing today, having already paramilitary

units near their state borders? all this, of course, does not give peace, the detachments have been determined, this is probably not so much about the poles, but about those who probably have belarusian. division like the polish-lithuanian commonwealth there are all sorts of kalinowski’s regiments and so on and so on. they have one goal: in addition to external influence on our the state, its isolation, try to shake up, of course, the situation within our country, especially in the run-up to it. well, this is all being done very simply, under the guise that some rebel belarusians, using these proxy forces, of course, there will be no belarusians there and i think even 20%, they will gather all this riffraff that is all over the place.

russia, they cannot say, tomorrow we will attack belarus, why? no, no one will do that, we need a hybrid war, since they unleashed it in ukraine, since they unleashed it, that means in yugoslavia, since they are being unleashed in the middle east in africa, pushing each other either within the country, or... if the state government failed, as we did in 1920, then it is necessary, under the guise of offended belarusians who are supposedly fighting for some kind of democracy, to make provocations, but what the colleague is right about, what the president is talking about: these people will come 1 cm to the border, everyone will be destroyed, and we know very well that it is not the fugitives who rule without millions of dollars of american and polish lithuanians, without this help that is coming, they would have nothing we could, so we will strike.

how do you see this threat? well, there is certainly a threat, but i would rather talk here about

my informational-psychological, political aspect. it is clear that all these movements that are taking place in the south on the western border are caused by certain events that will take place in russia, for us these are elections. we are entering a rather long electoral cycle, here it begins in february, will end in a year, in russia too, well, there is a choice... there is always such a turning point, and what is needed here is, firstly, this pressure, the presence, in principle , of foreign troops at the border is already a kind of destabilizing factor, yes, which affects the psychological state there.

and at this moment they need to be ready in order to take advantage of the probable destabilization within the state, this probably concerns us to a lesser extent, but since we in the union state still concerns, use this to deliver, well , essentially such a catastrophic blow, because that they saw that russia still appears, despite 30 years of wandering.

russia, this is on the one hand, on the other hand, of course, let's still look across the ocean, what is happening now in the hegemon, in the united states of america, the most complicated, pre-election, election campaign is underway so that biden, the current president, well, can go to safety for a second term and win, well, of course there are a lot of problems and questions here that are necessary. some very serious events, which means that a bet was made on ukraine, but this bet did not not justify itself, that is, now it is necessary, the middle east too, it seems that they are already going there certain trends in order to search for certain compromises, and if not a long-term settlement, then for

a certain period of time, therefore... there is also a search for which region to blow up in order for this to influence internal political events in the united states states of america on the results of the presidential elections, which will take place in november, so purely according to the schedule, yes, if you look at the time, this is a completely, quite realistic scenario, there is another worrying thing, a number of nato officials this week. announced that they need to prepare for a war with russia, which will break out in the next 2-3 years, and the european, brussels elites applaud this, so i want to translate what nato officials say, they are not happy with the fact that ukraine can calm down, then , that nothing will work out there, that means what does a war in nato mean, if with nato, russia and nato, if someone thinks that tomorrow nato will attack, the usa will start bombing russia there, no,

not like that, just the same you, europeans, will fight, today the task is when they talk about war.

it is clear that they have made a bet on turning our country into such an advanced theater of military operations, well, the fact that a hybrid war is already being waged against us, i think this is not news to anyone, we all remember the vilnius summit, where.. .appropriate decisions were made to build up nato's primary deployment forces, specifically in three components, where during the first month they are ready to increase to 300,000, with

a subsequent increase within six months to 500,000 just to cover the eastern flank, that is, this is what will act objectively against us. constantly , the nato military and the american military carry out two operations with the aim of rotating military personnel, with the aim of creating military bases and... the germans use approximately the same analogy , well, like the name of the belarusian bulge, then it played a role for us, well, in the opposite direction, yes, to the east, as it were, today we are clearly wedged right into

the territory of this nato bloc, we hear a lot about the trimoria, we hear a lot about the lublin triangles, about everything else, it’s no coincidence they just can’t get along, why is there no key player in the republic of belarus, the only ally, just imagine, if for a second today we, the russian federation, would lose such an ally, well , i think we could definitely say goodbye to the exclave and i will never remember about the suwałki corridor again, this is the first, second, from the state border to moscow our 600 km, how long will it take to fly a cruise missile or ballistic missile there, these are minutes, minutes, even reactions and sometimes for some systems will not be enough, this very very what is important is that we are talking about these exercises that were conducted, the depth of these exercises must be understood, look, they are being conducted, firstly, these are called general exercises, which also include a staunch defender, called defender 2024, there are two most important components, the first is what you said

, a staunch defender - this is what the joint armed forces of nato are conducting in the european theater of operations, where they will conduct military operations there, deploy, supposedly under some pretext under the cover of the eastern, well you'll remember at least once where, when the nato bloc defended itself, what kind of defensive bloc is this, i’ve never seen anything like this in history. i can’t, the second exercise that will say is defender of europe 2024, and this will already be carried out by the command of the us ground forces in the european and african zones of responsibility, at this moment the transfer of troops from the continental part of north america to our part of europe will take place. and what is the task of these two exercises, which, under the common auspices , are carried out as quickly as possible, in a compressed manner? deadlines, create the transfer of troops here.

ukraine worked out, moldova worked out, which means, if we take central asia, i won’t name offending anyone either, where it partially worked out, the third stage, after taking away sovereignty, is to destabilize the situation in these countries to turn into a russian stronghold. the last stage, which ukraine is now involved in, is a direct military clash, the same is planned for belarus, our strategic importance is so great, that’s why

we invested millions of dollars in 2020, therefore, in the twenty -fifth they will not let you sleep peacefully, in the twentieth there was also a speech about the fact that this is the only thing people should understand, all belarusians, which means that the west has never been interested in elections in any country in the world, democracy, freedom, who is the president, whoever is not the president, they are not interested in all this, geopolitics, you are very much in your twenties. explain to us, wait, let me formulate it, the year 20, it turns out, if you follow your logic, if then everything happened differently in the 20th year, the war, that is, i ’m talking specifically, it means if in the 20’s in the year there would have been a coup d'etat, people who were dependent on the west would have come to power , they were all dependent on the west, every last one, today missiles would be flying in belarus , war would be blazing, during these three years a peacekeeping continent was stationed here under the guise of protecting the sovereignty of the republic of belarus from russia. this means that after which, after the start of hostilities in ukraine, this means that this military contingent would have taken part against russia and the belarusians would have been drawn in, there would have been a civil war on the territory of the country, we would have already

divided here. they won’t bring it, article five of nato did not work and will not work, in the event of a war between lithuania and russia, with anyone, american soldiers will not defend it, money, missiles, die, well, the anglo-saxons, look, they are more than serious, for these days, everyone has already managed to quote nato generals, we now suggest paying attention to london, it looks like the englishwoman will continue

to crap, but not only... it is believed that if there are such powerful enough states with an army there, then they will have to be taken by military means -that thus, this is what he was talking about, about us he most likely means the political path, that is, attempts at further coups d'etat, or hybrid attacks, under the guise of an invasion by militants to seize part of their territories so that this is a political ploy, so that they announce here is the government, and that means then

the political game begins.

a question related to the civilizational approach, questions specifically of civilization, which we are talking about today, and ukraine, it falls into our civilization, it is of course very important for us is important, and as long as we have before us... to say a divided ukraine or a ukraine that will belong to the western world, it will always be a threat to us from this anti-russia, this is the first thing to say, the second thing i would like to say about oleg sergeevich said, very important aspects, that today there is a confrontation not only at the civilizational level, but at the level of the confrontation of transnational elites of national elites, this is precisely what unites the state today, which stand precisely for this collectively, are we updating our military doctrine on time?

this is the military security of the country, so it is clear that we had to look at this strategic planning document, the military doctrine, especially since we literally approved the military doctrine of the union state just a year and a half or two ago and saw literally a year later what this meant the document needs to be returned again, it won’t work out that we will finalize it, improve it, due to the fact that everything is new there and new biological ones there threats appear. you know, of course, this is a document that will be constantly updated, life will update it, significant intellectual and other resources have now been invested in the development of this document, yes, it

basically maintains its continuity, but nevertheless, well, somewhere up to 80 %, because these circumstances did not arise today, which we are now discussing in great detail. judgments, including those considered by the expert council under the council of the republic, a number of interesting ones from our point of view were introduced proposals, including on the issue of military-biological activities

of western countries, because today everyone is talking about a possible nuclear war, but experts say that biological war is much more dangerous than nuclear war.

if there were no need for these weapons, then we would not have returned them to our territory, because we voluntarily renounced nuclear weapons, did not demand anything in return , our country had absolutely no financial or material benefits, we then understood that there was no need, the world seemed to be more calm, more calm, but how... as it turned out, of course not, of course not , so the return of nuclear weapons is, this is deterrence, definitely, regarding use, non-use, well, here i think that the commander-in-chief of the republic of belarus, he

will determine the feasibility of use together with the russian federation, but still apply it. i’m talking about something else, 3.5 million nato members are coming tomorrow the day after tomorrow, and you understand that you have nothing to oppose there, here we are, is there really anyone else in the west who doubts, in 2020, the president did not flinch, it was yanukovych, he shit himself and ran away to russia, which means that because of him now millions of people in ukraine were deprived of their lives, because he then, in 1414, instead of going to the square with berkut , dispersing this scum that destroyed ukraine would save millions of people today.

doctrine, everything that is being done now , rearmament, how we are rearming the army

with modern means, new tactics of warfare, training by the same wagner pmcs on the territory of belarus, belarusians, all this it is being done so that there will never be a war , there will never be, so that those who sit there and want to understand something, if you walk a centimeter, they will be destroyed, and why will you be destroyed, firstly, strong power, political will, making any decisions, what the president needs to ask someone, who should he ask, the oligarchs? he will not ask the oligarchs, he will ask the people, the people want to live in peace, it seems to me that i understood the essence of your question, relatively speaking, if we see that the strike is concentrated literally in close proximity to our border group, will we wait for them to cross the border, then we will fight them on our territory, it seems to me that the military here is certainly more competent, they know the signs when , but on a political plane, to discuss the attack.

there it is coded, coded, and i signed a decree on how to use these weapons, they

can only be used with the consent of the president, there, the minister of defense, the chief of the general staff are involved, each has their own functions, but nuclear weapons are even more complicated application, so we and the iskanders received, we received a lot of missile ammunition, first of all. necessary funds, it’s difficult to add something,

why? president, today our people are protected as never before, and that’s for sure, i want to say, those weapons systems, the chief of the general staff spoke, he outlined in detail how our airspace will be protected, what the latest systems we have, then, that we are monitoring half of europe, in essence, we are receiving all the necessary intelligence information. we have forces that we are constantly increasing, our state border is covered not only by border guards, but accordingly battalion and tactical groups have been deployed there and special operations forces are operating, we have a system. building up the immediate response force , which is in one-hour readiness, one hour, they are already performing combat missions, that is , these aspects are very important, this is the main understanding, so that we get the latest systems such as, yes, iskander, our polones, and others all the systems we are talking about today we are saying, in essence, the poles are just thinking about this, planning it, but we already

have it in service, we already know how to use it, the latest weapons systems, including ours related to aviation, this is the su-thirtieth , the fact that we...

creating blackshirts in the center of rome, and now the spiritual heirs of musalini can do this completely calmly. italy's supreme constitutional court has decided that the use of the fascist salute is acceptable at commemorative events. a demonstration of the fascist salute may be considered a crime only if it jeopardizes public order, or there is a concrete danger of the restoration of the banned fascist party , according to the court decision. their logic, they believe, is ironclad: you don’t mean anything bad.

we want to extract our mineral resources and sell them at the price at which market relations will buy us, no, we won’t give it to you, let’s go to war, get blood, we’ll bomb you, destroy you, the same thing with the post-soviet space, then same with belarus and russia, they don’t want us to live independently in peace, so when the president says this phrase: peace and sovereignty are expensive, that’s what we’re talking about, there will be no sovereignty, they will be stolen, plundered, destroyed, and there’s no value whatsoever , some ideological concepts , they don’t have an ideology, they invent it all the time, they change fascism, then liberalism, this radical, then something else, but the essence

is the same, yes, i agree, we just have our own values, plunder, we will resist through steam'. let's continue, we'll talk about it, we let’s continue, here is sergei antonich, when we are in the first block, one threat, a second, a third, we simply won’t have time to discuss how many more, but they are essentially, the most inopportune year, the most inopportune time for elections, it would seem, but they still need to be held , inappropriate, because we understand that this is like a narrow bottleneck, our enemy,

and military doctrine, that is, it shows that the country lives its own life, but

there are certain unrest, they are associated primarily with those actions that we we observe on the external contour, on the external contour, yes, there is an understanding of the situation, the situation, but this will not prevent us from carrying out and implementing the tasks that the country, the state faces. and with dignity and calmly carry out the choice, what the west wants from every election in belarus and not only belarus is to make the country weaker, what we want to make stronger, which means we want to make the country stronger, i am convinced, i am not afraid, you are asking the right question, but what will happen in these elections, it’s right that we are holding them now, will there be destabilization, not there will be destabilization, why we know the risks, threats, there will be attempts, but nothing will work out for one simple reason, we have learned lessons from the twentieth year and not only...

in these elections there are much more opportunities for nomination of both parties and labor collectives and signatures, whatever you want, but i see the main thing when i communicate with people, people see these threats, people understand, the west never takes into account our slavic, belarusian mentality, when we are under pressure, we always unite around the leader, forget about any differences, let’s go go ahead, we have four parties in the country, different programs, different views, we are far from the same, for example, who...

can hold a gun to protect their home, everything is lined up, weapons, ammunition, distributed locally, stored, pressed a button , spun, spun, but it all depends on us, on me and on all of you, the head of state briefly said how we will defend our land, and a thousand times he is right, all this will be confirmed precisely in our military doctrine, what is military anyway? doctrine, doctrine it defines politics, the military policy of our state, its main aspects , within the framework when we were preparing this doctrine, it was based, of course, on the constitution, the concept of national security, it wasn’t just the general staff who worked, we already dwelled on this issue, everyone worked , teams, ministries, departments, our parliamentarians worked, that is , everyone has their own point of view, this is not a purely military document, it’s just this sphere, the military

sphere, it is very, very important today, first of all it is important because happening... around us, the basis of the military doctrine is the military-political situation, and the military-political situation is composed of, firstly, what are the views of our neighboring states, especially in the west, what their doctrines look like, what their national security strategies look like, everything that needs to be said, they call us almost all enemies, the second thing is practically how their actions of these countries, and of course, took into account our capabilities, so that we do not try to write in the doctrine that we will not jump over our heads anyway, and this everything is taken into account. including tactical nuclear weapons, as a tool, the most important tool of deterrence, this is a document on how to maintain peace, it clearly identifies new risks, threat challenges, what constitutes this very military danger, and also highlights such an important aspect, what was not in the previous doctrine, this is an immediate threat, this is the moment, this is where we just said, there are opportunities, it gives us all the right to launch a preemptive strike against the enemy,

when war is already inevitable, and we are responsible for this primarily, well, i again i say, we do not consider anyone enemies, not a single national point, not so much even for ourselves, but for those who from outside will consider that they understood, yes, what we are ready for, that we are ready to defend ours, we do not show our sacrifice, we we show that we are a state that is capable of defending itself. further important aspect, classification in military conflicts, we have moved away from the old approaches.

in the air and in the information space, these are just cognitive, mental wars, everything is already taken into account in our military doctrine, these are the fundamental aspects , in addition to what needs to be said, our allied relations, including the military doctrine and our peacekeeping approaches, we learned from the experience of what happened in kazakhstan, the experience of those exercises that we conduct within the organization collective... security treaty, all these aspects were not taken into account, and most importantly, the president, setting the task of preparing such important documents as the concept of national security, as military doctrine, demanded the most important thing, get away from the template, get away from just standard approaches and formalism, i think we succeeded, the second thing is that we had to take into account the experience of all these conceptual documents that have been

developed recently, and most importantly, what we say, in fact, this is an ongoing process and renewal of the concept of national security, military doctrine, we are setting up our state, well , for existence and a dignified existence in new conditions, but one thing is important here, we

talk about this 100 times, but if we not in the house there will be order if we don’t feel like a single family, well, this is not the time to be pulled into corners, which means our state, indeed, if... there are laws that regulate, including the use of the most serious weapons, we understand the intentions of the potential enemy , unfortunately, they do not inspire optimism, and only one thing can stop him: our inner strength, political will and determination to use any weapon that we have at our disposal, if there is even the slightest creep in our direction, that’s when they they will think that, well, not...

for an internal split, as long as there is unity in belarus, as long as we have a calm political situation, as long as our president holds meetings and devotes so much time to everyday matters , the right issues of economics, culture, that means sports, but this is so, we really live by this, until then nothing will work out for them, so ukraine succeeded, nato would not have attacked russia itself, so the ukrainians, which means dividing the slavs , start a war and destroy. there is still a war for minds, which will continue all these years

even stronger than before, an information war, an ideological war, a war of meanings, a war for our youth, for our children, teenage students, and we will not allow this war to be lost, this is probably one of the most important things for that we will fight, but by military means, well, let them poke their noses in. this is primarily a task in order to win these minds, including in the republic of belarus, so we need to listen as best as possible.
