Lukashenko: NATOfication of Europe, entire world is in progress

ASTANA, 28 November (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized the ongoing NATOfication of Europe and the entire world in general as he spoke at the CSTO summit in Astana on 28 November, BelTA has learned.

“We record the worsening global situation every year. The problem is not even that the system of checks and balances, which ensured international security and strategic stability, has faded into oblivion. We have been long hesitating to develop alternative legal mechanisms,” the head of state said.

In his words, someone needs this state of affairs, when the norms and principles of international law are replaced by some subjective and situationally changing rules, instruments of military and information blackmail.

“Against this background, the arms race is rapidly gaining momentum. The Eastern European region, especially Poland, continues its militarization. NATofication of Europe and the world in general is underway,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

According to him, military conflicts and hotbeds of tension are growing in many regions of the world.

“Clinging to an elusive dominance, the West is increasingly speaking the language of arms, turning a blind eye to the threats of nuclear confrontation fraught with the destruction of the entire planet,” the Belarusian president said.
