Ukraine has become an outpost of political provocations / GORDON

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, in a meeting with the country’s top officials on September 16, said Ukraine had become an outpost of political provocations. Reports from the website of the President of Belarus.

According to Lukashenka, Belarus’s opponents have been scrupulously preparing “for the present moment” for the past 10 years.

“To remove all the masks at once, let’s name these players by name. At the level of global centers, this is, first and foremost, the United States of America, more specifically, its network of funds to support so-called democracy. The American satellites were active on the European continent: Poland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic and, unfortunately, our Ukraine, “says Lukashenka.

According to him, each of these countries resolved their role.

“The Czech Republic has been a resource center for a long time, Poland, first as an incubator for media channels (Belsat, NEXTA and others), and then as a platform for alternative organizations in exile. Lithuania, stung by the BelNPP issue, is like a battering ram for Belarusian-European relations. Ukraine, despite our unwavering support (eg in matters of territorial integrity and others), contrary to the spirit of our relationship, has become an outpost of political provocations. ” The organizers’ tactics were based on the classic American textbook of “color revolutions,” Lukashenko said.

Mass protests have been going on in Belarus since August 9. The protesters believe that the results of the presidential elections were falsified. According to official data, Lukashenka won with 80.1% of the voters. The opposition candidate Tikhanovskaya came in second with 10.1% of the vote. At the same time, alternative exit polls showed the opposite picture: Tikhanovskaya’s confident victory.

The Belarusian security forces violently dispersed the demonstrations, in particular with the use of stun grenades, rubber bullets and water cannons. During the protests, about 10,000 protesters were detained, hundreds were injured and wounded. According to official figures, four protesters died.

EU Foreign Ministers August 28 agreed to impose sanctions on top Belarusian officials due to electoral fraud and violence against protesters.

The EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, told a meeting of the European Parliament that the European Union does not consider Lukashenko as the legitimate president of Belarus.

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has officially condemned the actions of the Belarusian authorities.
