A joint press conference of the heads of the Foreign Ministries of Belarus and Russia is taking place in Moscow today. Vladimir Makei confirmed his interest in strengthening cooperation within the EAEU, CSTO and CIS. He notes that the latest events around the Union State confirm the existence of common centers of information warfare against them. Sergei Lavrov also said that methods of hybrid war are being used against Belarus and Russia.
Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister:
We are developing our interaction. We are being pressured with the use of illegitimate unilateral instruments of restraint. We are experiencing the methods of hybrid warfare from unilateral sanctions to dirty information campaigns. And, of course, taking into account such an aggressive line of our Western colleagues, we agreed to coordinate efforts to strengthen the sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the national security of our countries by joint efforts on the basis of international agreements.
Vladimir Makei arrived in the Russian capital on a working visit the day before. At the talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, he noted the high intensity of Belarusian-Russian contacts.
