President: Belarusian army fulfills its obligations in joint CSTO grouping

President: "Thank you for maintaining the joint group formed by us within the CSTO on the western direction, despite all difficulties and challenges. The Belarusian army is playing its role. You, being deeply involved in these matters, know and understand this perfectly. We are fulfilling all our obligations."

We are preparing for war, but are trying to avoid it by all means — it is not needed by us or by you. But to prevent it from happening, we must always be ready. Therefore, our joint group on the western direction will always be needed, and it is in order today.
