Lukashenko ruled out mobilization in Belarus


There will be no mobilization in Belarus, such messages are fake. This statement was made by the President of the Republic Alexander Lukashenko.

“There will be no mobilization. We are not going to mobilize. This is a lie,” the Belarusian leader emphasized (quote according to BelTA).

He pointed to the attempts of the opposition to develop the idea of ​​a possible mobilization in the country by analogy with Russia. According to him, the purpose of such publications is to create a tense situation in the republic.

Earlier about the lack of plans to mobilize in Belarus informed State Secretary of the Security Council of the Republic Alexander Volfovich. According to him, "the people of Belarus and the country are mobilized anyway." He stressed that the country has a “power bloc and peacetime staff” that can fight back.

September 21 Russian President Vladimir Putin announced about partial mobilization in the country. He clarified that citizens who are in the reserve are subject to conscription, and above all those who served in the ranks of the Armed Forces, have certain military specialties and relevant experience. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, a total of 300,000 people will be called up - about 1% of the mobilization resource.

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry said that they were sympathetic to Moscow's decision. “Common sense dictates any decisive action if it is connected with the need to ensure the security of one’s state,” said head of department Vladimir Makei. At the same time, Volfovich, at a meeting with Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev, said that the crisis in Ukraine should be resolved peacefully.

Russia's special operation in Ukraine has been going on since February 24. Putin called the protection of the inhabitants of Donbass, as well as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, its goals. According to the Russian president, at present the line of contact exceeds 1,000 km.
