"Military doctrine should be regularly updated" - experts tell what caused changes in strategic documents of Belarus

24 января 2024

The highest concentration of military equipment ever is now present near the western borders of Belarus. The reasons are on the surface: the internal situation in the countries of Western Europe is heated to the limit. And the politicians of the Old World have taken out their old methodology of pacification under the name of "Military Threat". People are being frightened by an external enemy in the hope of diverting attention from the problems. And the scale of the deployed exercises is commensurate with the depth of economic failure in the states that have imposed sanctions against Belarus and Russia.

Thus, NATO has recently started the largest maneuvers in Europe since the Cold War. What is characteristic, it is on the eastern borders of the alliance, that is, on our western ones. By the way, since the Iron Curtain, it was the alliance, which calls itself defensive, that came to the doorstep of the Union State itself, and now it is shouting about threats. In general, there is no logic in their actions. This makes the situation more and more tense and unpredictable.

The guarantee of security for Belarus is to keep the powder dry, to be on the alert and not to allow any accidental events on our border. This is what the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko was instructing the power bloc to do the day before. There's war in the south, situation in Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic States. Hence the peculiarities of the decision to protect the state border. As well as the drafts of the new National Security Concept and Military Doctrine.
