Belarus developing despite gloomiest forecasts and predictions - Lukashenko

Belarus is developing despite the gloomiest forecasts and predictions. This was stated by the head of state Alexander Lukashenko at the solemn meeting dedicated to Independence Day on July 2, BelTA reports.

The President reminded that the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory will be celebrated in 2025. For Belarus, it's also the anniversary of a new milestone of national construction - in 1945, the BSSR signed the Charter of the United Nations. "We have become one of the founding states as a country that took the brunt of the attack, suffered the heaviest losses and provided unprecedented nationwide resistance to the aggressor," said Alexander Lukashenko.

"It is bitter and painful to know that international legitimacy cost us terrible human sacrifices. But that's how it was then, that's the law of life," he continued. - As a person comes into the world through pain, so nations are born in terrible agony. They grow up and become stronger in the struggle for life, for freedom, for their historical memory.

In Belarus, according to Alexander Lukashenko, they have learned this law, so they have been and are doing their best not to stray from the road laid by previous generations. And they have been walking along it for 30 years, stepping over sanctions, political intrigue, blackmail, information provocations. They are building Belarus despite the most gloomy forecasts and predictions.
