Belarus is making every effort to reduce military and political tensions and preserve peace. This was stated by the State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus at the International Security Forum. The event is taking place in Russia these days. As A. Volfovich noted, today, in order to save the planet from a global military catastrophe, a dialogue is needed. And Belarus is ready for it in any format and at any time. But the West and the European Union are not ready. They prefer the "language of force" in the form of sanctions, militarization and provocations on the southern and western borders of the Union State. The West is openly preparing Europe for war.
