28 июля 2020
Alexander Lukashenko visited 3214 military unit of the internal troops today.

The meeting with the leadership and personnel of the agencies that are part of the national security system was held. 3214 unit is an elite division. It is created to protect the law. It guards the peace of Belarusians and order in the country.

President Alexander Lukashenko is convinced that the course towards creating a reliable national security system is correct. This was discussed in military unit 3214 at the meeting with the leadership and personnel of the departments that form the system of national security. A national military school has been created, and its own military industry is developing. The Belarusian army ranks 53rd out of almost 140 countries. Many NATO countries are left behind.

Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus: “The first steps of Belarus into a sovereign life were made in the 90s. Then law enforcement agencies were thoughtlessly destroyed, and military equipment turned into scrap metal, high-class military professionals were massively dismissed. The salaries of the officers who remained in the army were reduced several times. The platoon commander in those years received up to $ 15, the regiment commander - $ 35. It was difficult, but we overcame this period and survived. We have chosen the right guidelines and can say that the system of our national security was created by the efforts of our people."

The financial aspect concerns the population. The President assured that the state will continue to support military personnel!

Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus: "If the economy doesn’t worsen, then our lives will not worsen. We will try to support you as much as possible so that you have a normal salary."

The latest models of special equipment were demonstrated to the Belarusian leader. 70 units of combat vehicles were added to the vehicle fleet of the internal troops. Almost half of them are domestic production. They demonstrated their capabilities on the training ground nearby.

The Head of the State also observed the living conditions of the servicemen. A new comfortable apartment-type hostel will be opened in the territory of the unit in August. It will be fully equipped with furniture and household appliances. The contract servicemen of the internal troops will be accommodated here, and the issue of permitting residence for fourth-year cadets is also being considered.
