Lukashenko: Self-exiled opposition’s scenarios regarding Belarus are unrealizable

Sunday, 25.02.2024 - 17:43

The self-exiled opposition’s scenarios regarding Belarus are unrealizable, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told the media after he cast his vote in the parliamentary and local elections on 25 February, BelTA has learned.

Answering the journalists' question, the head of state pointed out that the ultimate goal of the self-exiled opposition in any of their scenarios is the same - a coup d'état and seizure of power. “It does not matter whether it is going to be a long or short game, the goal is the same - Belarus must be turned in the opposite direction. In order to do so, they first need to overthrow the current government. It will be very difficult, I am sure of this. Especially after the single voting day, the elections. We will elect reliable, intelligent people who understand what tasks our people are facing. Therefore, none of the scenarios, even the most radical one, will not work in Belarus,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

The country has already drawn conclusions from the events of the past years, so there is absolutely no hope for them to implement their plans today, the president is convinced. “Nevertheless, they will be trying to undermine the situation here,” the head of state said. “They consider themselves strong and capable of big things. They view Belarus as a small dot on the map which needs to be erased in order to move closer to the east, to the resources, closer to Moscow. We understand this very well.”

According to the president, Belarus, together with Russia, is keeping in mind different scenarios and consider ways to counteract them. “We will always stay united with Russia. This is the only way we can resist any opponent,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “The world today is a force and understands only force. We cannot stay soft and keep fighting for democracy and some ephemeral freedom - you have seen what kind of ‘democracy’ they have.... We need to focus on our goals, our interests, be sincere and pursue a policy of justice. Then, it will be the unity of our people. Of course, we will have all kinds of critics. They are present in any society. All these scenarios are unrealizable. We all see it perfectly well. You do not even have to worry about anything in this respect.”

As for the recent increase in provocations and growing activity on the borders with Belarus on the part of its western neighbors, the journalists asked whether there was something that was not yet known to the general public. “In order for us to be able to produce counter measures, we need to keep people informed. Our society must be fully informed,” the head of state explained. He added that there was no aim to stir up tensions but, on the contrary, the authorities warn people to stay strong against provocations, to resist them. “If we hide something from you, we will not succeed [in terms of joint confrontation and preservation of peace and tranquility on the Belarusian land]. We inform you even about the most extreme scenarios,” the Belarusian leader said.

As an example, he cited a recent story when he spoke about the plans of the Belarusian self-exiled opposition to “defeat” Russia, to give the western territories of Belarus and Ukraine to Poland and to enlarge Belarus with Russian lands. “It was the talk between our self-exiled opposition and Americans and I took the quote directly from their conversation. I found it necessary to inform the society to show what they [self-exiled opposition] are worth of,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. Another example was their plans to seize a separate small settlement, Kobrin and Malorita were named in particular. “Capture a small town, declare power, everyone will recognize this authority that will turn to NATO, and troops will be brought in,” the president spoke about the plans of the Belarusian self-exiled opposition. “This is not a bluff. Such plans are being discussed. We are informing you on all fronts.”

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
