Lukashenko: arms race world

Head of state Vladimir Lukashenko, in his speech, noted that this year marks 85 years since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, when the country faced a tremendous disaster, overcoming it at the cost of enormous losses. He stated that the current international situation resembles that difficult period when the West is intensifying military hysteria, increasing NATO countries' budgets, and accelerating the militarization of Europe, especially among Western neighbors. In the author's view, the goal of all humanity — goodwill — is to do everything possible and impossible to prevent a new global bloodshed.
