The head of the Belarusian Defense Ministry, Viktor Khrenin, again stated that the Belarusian armed forces were not going to attack anyone, and the deployment of an allied group of troops on the territory of the republic had a defensive purpose.
“We are not going to attack anyone. The task of the regional grouping of troops of Belarus and Russia, the Union State is purely defensive, and all activities are aimed at an adequate response to what is happening near our borders”, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus quotes him as saying.
Khrenin also stressed that “the strategic deterrence measure currently being implemented and planned by the armed forces demonstrates readiness to defend the country and inflict damage on the aggressors.” At the same time, characterizing the emerging situation around Belarus, he noted that negative trends would prevail in the near future.
