The disintegration of the post-Soviet space is one of the main tasks of the NATO intelligence community and their allies, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with the heads of the delegations participating in the Meeting of Heads of Security Agencies and Intelligence Services of the CIS Member States, BelTA has learned.
“The world is plunging into chaos with unpredictable consequences. Attempts to find even a fragile balance have failed. I am sure you know this well, too. The system of counterbalances that was previously maintained by agreements, including in the field of nuclear deterrence, has been dismantled. I fully agree with First President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev who has recently said that the world is closer than ever to a nuclear war. In such conditions, special services are coming to play a bigger role; their most important task is to protect their states and citizens from internal and external threats,” the head of state said.
He emphasized the importance of effective work of intelligence services to obtain reliable, relevant and, above all, forecast information that would allow country leaders to make informed decisions in the interests of their people. “The main thing here is to one-up our opponents, to thwart the scenarios they are trying to materialize. As I have been told (maybe you have different information), one of the main tasks of the NATO intelligence community and their allies is the disintegration of the post-Soviet space. They want to drive a wedge in our centuries-old good neighborly relations, and then set us against each other,” the Belarusian leader said.
“I am sure that if it is no longer possible to reach each of you by phone to resolve a specific issue, this will turn into a tragedy. We should not let this happen,” added Aleksandr Lukashenko.
Aleksandr Lukashenko urged the countries not to cut off ties even with outliers in the CIS.
The head of state highlighted serious threats emerging in the media setting. “Today our journalists and ideologists are on the front line. They are waging this information war. It is very important to prevent this information war from escalating into a hot war,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
He noted that opponents are trying to put pressure on the population using destructive methods, carry out cyber attacks on the critical infrastructure of government agencies, and spread fake news and hoaxes.
Aleksandr Lukashenko urged the parties to prevent infighting in the Commonwealth: “We have lost our state that helped prop up the multipolar world. We are not as strong today as we used to be. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to resist these fights in the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic regions. I want to tell you in simple terms: we need to tough it out. We don't want to fight. We've fought, that's enough.”
The president deems it necessary to focus on the economy. “If everything is fine inside the country, no one will dare interfere. Economy is the key to stability,” the Belarusian leader noted.
He warned against breaking ties, as Ukraine did. Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled that for many years he had called on the then presidents of Ukraine not to rush to leave the CIS. The Belarusian leader gave the same advice to ex-President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili. “It's easy to leave. It's more difficult to come back. In politics, it is very important to be patient and not to take hasty decisions,” said the head of state.
Aleksandr Lukashenko once again emphasized that the above-mentioned threats can only be counted by joining forces. “Our relationships of trust rely on our common history, economic, scientific, educational potential and interpersonal contacts inherited from the once united country. This is our economic space,” he noted.
According to the president, cooperation between security agencies helps better understand each other's interests, take them into account and take specific measures to de-escalate the situation. “We need to assist each other where it is necessary. This is very important. We will act only this way,” assured Aleksandr Lukashenko.

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.
