Belarus Armed Forces are increasing combat readiness
On Wednesday, April 1, Alexander Lukashenko made an important and serious statement at a meeting on the results of a large-scale inspection of the Belarusian Armed Forces. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He emphasized that the country is constantly living under security threats and stated that the concept of a peaceful period does not practically exist. The Belarusian president assessed the inspection as the most comprehensive and strictest test conducted so far.
Military units were tested in various difficult conditions, regardless of weather and time, in a combat-like environment. He stressed that preparations for war are underway and that the Armed Forces were formed precisely for this purpose.
If someone wants to speak through weapons, Belarus is ready to respond. Lukashenko also noted the possibility of increasing the country's army size up to 500,000 personnel.
These preparations are related to the escalation of the geopolitical situation and threats emerging at Belarus's borders. He had earlier called a possible attack "part of the beginning of the Third World War."
In recent days, Belarus has also been active in foreign policy. In particular, on March 26, an important agreement on friendship and cooperation was signed in Pyongyang with Kim Jong Un.
It is emphasized that this document will elevate relations between the two countries to a new level. According to official statements, the DPRK leader expressed full support for Belarus and declared opposition to the pressure from Western countries.
It was also specifically noted that the two countries share similar positions on international issues. It should be recalled that Belarus and the DPRK have been actively participating in geopolitical processes in recent years.
They have provided various forms of assistance to Moscow in Russia's war against Ukraine. For example, the Minsk region was used as a platform for military operations in 2022 and some strategic decisions were made.
Overall, Lukashenko's statement is perceived as an important signal not only for the domestic audience but also for the international arena. The Belarusian government takes security issues seriously and considers strengthening preparations for potential threats a priority task.
