Lukashenko: allies exerting pressure

At a recent event, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko noted that a multipolar world causes concerns not only for the leaders of China and Russia but also exerts unprecedented pressure on their allies. According to him, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran have become targets of gross interference, primarily through the economy. "Technological sovereignty, reliance on domestic resources and capabilities, prioritizing union-made products, and protecting the common market of the Union State are security frontiers just as critical as military and foreign policy ones," emphasized the Head of State. He expressed confidence that Belarus and Russia will be able to withstand such challenges by relying on union-made products and joint efforts.
