Lukashenko proposed to hold a large meeting of regional organizations of Eurasia

Security of Eurasia. The role of the CSTO in ensuring peace and stability in our common space. These key issues were the focus of the organization's summit in Astana. The position of Belarus and the most important initiatives were voiced by the President. Alexander Lukashenko named the tasks for forming a new architecture of Eurasian security and strengthening the CSTO itself.

They will, among other things, contribute to the cohesion of the participating states, and therefore enhance the organization's image. We need to think about the future.

In practice, new types of weapons appear every day. This means that a common mechanism is needed to ensure control over deadly types of weapons.

The CSTO should also strengthen international cooperation. Alexander Lukashenko proposed to hold a large meeting of regional organizations of Eurasia in Belarus. Experts' opinions on key statements and proposals.

The President of Belarus flew to Astana from protest-ridden Pakistan. A country that, in addition to its internal issues, has difficult relations with India. However, where is it calm?! Just look at the world map - dozens of smoldering conflicts. And this is no longer just talk and intimidation about the world being on the verge of a third world war.

The CSTO is an organization that pays great attention to peacekeeping activities. That is why the West is so wary of it. Our unity is a threat to them. And so, to their delight, "minus one." Armenia has frozen its participation in the organization's work. Although this does not affect the decision-making of other participants or the work of the CSTO in general.

Pashinyan was at a government meeting yesterday. And a few days earlier he met with Duda. In general, everything is clear.

Lukashenko on Armenia's absence from the CSTO summit.

"Our Armenian colleagues are not participating in the meeting. This, by the way, characterizes the current geopolitical situation in the region and, to some extent, our organization," the Belarusian leader said in his speech.

The situation around the CSTO member states is explosive. Large-scale militarization and NATO exercises near our borders. Ukraine is no longer just being stuffed with weapons, but there is talk of transferring nuclear weapons to it. Drone attacks, aggressive Western policies, sanctions and the breakdown of legal relations.

Nikolay Bordyuzha, CSTO Secretary General (2003-2016):

"In all this geopolitics, Belarus is in first place as an outpost, because it is Belarus that directly borders the states that are pursuing an aggressive policy today. And here, firstly, restraint is needed. Secondly, I believe that Alexander Lukashenko behaves ideally in this regard. In no case should he give in to these threats, these provocations, but pursue his own line, be absolutely independent, be ready to repel."

Our neighbors continue to spread rumors and try to level the status of the CSTO.

But it is enough to remember how Astana was ablaze after the New Year in 2022. Belarus, among other things, had to send a peacekeeping contingent there. It will flare up somewhere further down the chain. Who else might have any questions about why the CSTO?!

The presidents exchanged views on the current situation in the region. Putin spoke with his CSTO colleagues about new Russian weapons and the situation in the SVO zone. There are enough "Oreshniks" for all ATACMS.

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia:

"Despite our warnings about the danger of escalation of the conflict, strikes on our territory were carried out - on the Bryansk and Kursk regions."

The power of "Oreshnik" is comparable to the use of nuclear weapons. This cooled the hot heads a little.

We have no illusions. The presidential elections in Belarus are coming up. Not only our special services have announced the upcoming provocations. Also, according to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the West plans to use militants to destabilize the situation. But no matter how much some would like the opposite, the world is multipolar. And speaking in an orderly manner has long been an option.

It is clear that any methods are used to remove the focus from internal problems, including overt political blackmail. In reality, behind the imitation of vigorous activity is competition for markets and profits.

But they could solve real problems together: fight drug trafficking, terrorism and the danger that artificial intelligence poses.

Alexander Lukashenko believes it is necessary to strengthen the interaction of international organizations working in the Eurasian space.
