“An unsuccessful attempt to organise a ‘colour revolution’ was replaced by a hybrid war and unprecedented measures of diplomatic and political and economic pressure”, – said Minister of Defence Viktor Hrenin.
Hrenin described as “various destructive forces warmed by the leadership of a number of states” responsible for the “attempt to change the government” in Belarus without any specifics. According to him, they failed to do so “because of the coordinated actions of the state administration and the Belarusian people.
“Separately, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the military and political leadership of the Russian Federation for its position and assistance to the Republic of Belarus at this difficult time”, – added Hrenin.
