November 11, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) should make it clear to its opponents ahead of time that they will not be allowed to destabilize its member states, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka during a meeting of the CSTO Security Council in Moscow on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese problems could arise quite unexpectedly, as they did in Belarus or Kazakhstan, and we would have to respond off the cuff,\u201d the Belarusian ruler said, referring to 2020 protests in Belarus and the 2022 unrest in Kazakhstan, which was suppressed with the help of the CSTO\u2019s so-called Collective Peacekeeping Forces. \u201cOur opponents should know in advance that we will not allow them to destabilize the situation within any state in violation of its constitution. This is one of our most important tasks. We will ensure stability, I\u2019m talking about the situation within our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka complained about \u201ctargeted cyberattacks, armies of bots, the use of proxy hacking groups and the generation of fake content,\u201d which he said were \u201cincomparably cheaper than strategic bombers and cruise missiles but can nevertheless cause serious damage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terrorism, \u0141uka\u0161enka said, has evolved into an activity perpetrated at state level as a key tool for solving political problems in bilateral relations. \u201cStrikes on energy and civilian infrastructure are systematically launched, targeting energy facilities, logistics hubs, data centers, motor vehicles and tourist sites,\u201d he said, apparently referring to Kyiv\u2019s retaliatory strikes on Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka also sounded alarm over military exercises and special forces training allegedly taking place near Belarus\u2019 borders and the \u201cmilitarization of Western countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian Defense Minister Viktar Chrenin told Russian state media on the sidelines of the summit that Western countries are making preparations to be ready for war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minsk \u201csees infrastructure being upgraded and logistics being streamlined, including airfields and storage facilities,\u201d Chrenin was quoted as saying. \u201cI am not even talking about control centers, the number of operational training exercises, which has increased several times over, or the intelligence activities being conducted against the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
