According to Viktor Khrinin, the defence minister for Belarus, “the conflicts in Ukraine should be considered as part of a worldwide confrontation between the West and the East.”
According to the Belarusian “Belta-News” news agency, “We are firmly convinced that the special military operation that Russia was forced to launch is not simply another operation in a series of ordinary local military conflicts, but a manifestation of the global civilizational confrontation between East and West.”
As a strategic friend of Russia, our nation is also taking part in this conflict, he continued, noting that “Ukrainians are being used to wage a proxy war against Russia.”
”
He pointed out that Belarus has repeatedly urged the governments of European nations to ease regional tensions and work to diffuse the present crisis “All attempts to use logic to calm the situation have failed as the West and the nations it controls have continued to consciously raise tensions.
It’s important to note that on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the beginning of a military operation against Ukrainian targets with the goal of defending the people of the Donbass region. This announcement led many Western nations, including the United States, to impose severe economic sanctions against Russia.
