Yesterday President Alexander Lukashenko met with State Secretary of the Security Council Alexander Volfovich. The head of state noted that the situation in the world is rapidly developing. And whether we like it or not, our country should be ready for any, even the most complex, scenarios.

The President has pointed out that if the situation worsens, it is essential to take every precaution into account. Our own experience is the focus of attention. The situation in Russia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and other post-Soviet republics can teach us a lot. According to the Secretary of State of the Security Council, the security forces of Belarus are ready for any changes in both the external and internal political situation. There is a sufficient level of interaction between all the bodies of the security system for that purpose. Moreover, it was suggested to the President to add the Minister of Defense, the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB Chairman to the permanent members of the Security Council.
