US decision to supply anti-personnel mines to Ukraine is another violation of the balance of power

The US decision to supply anti-personnel mines to Ukraine is another violation of the balance of power, an escalation of the means of destruction that can be used. Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Belarus Pavel Muraveiko commented on Joe Biden's decision.

According to the general, we must take this into account, because no one guarantees that such weapons will not be used against us either.

The statement was made at the International Military-Scientific Conference, which started on November 20 in Minsk.

Belarus is hosting an international conference again. Representatives of the military departments of the CSTO countries gathered in the capital's Officers' House to discuss science from practical developments to strategy and tactics.

The forum is also designed to adequately respond to modern challenges. As the Chief of the General Staff of Belarus noted, today the degradation of the geopolitical situation is openly manifested, strategic instability is growing, the inability of international institutions to influence ongoing processes is becoming increasingly evident. It should be noted that currently, US strategic missile defense systems are being deployed near the borders of the CSTO member states, additional troop groups are being deployed, and external pressure on Belarus from NATO is constantly increasing. Pavel Muraveyko commented on Joe Biden's decision to supply anti-personnel mines to Ukraine.

Pavel Muraveyko, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces - First Deputy Minister of Defense of Belarus:

"Today, there was a system of checks and balances in the world. It included a ban on the use of anti-personnel mines in modern conflicts. The decision to supply such mines to Ukraine is a violation of the next balance of power, an escalation of the means of destruction that can be used. We must take this into account, because no one guarantees that such weapons will not be used against us either."

The practical issues are also discussed by specialists - from unmanned aircraft and the fight against them to tactical issues of modern conflicts. It is noted that the military-political situation today requires an impartial and comprehensive assessment, analysis and systematization of existing problems in the field of defense and security of the CSTO countries. The military-scientific community has actively joined in determining ways to solve them. As it was noted at the conference, today the world respects strength. And to be strong, you need to be together. The conference will last 2 days.
