A. Lukashenko called for strengthening of the military potential of the CSTO

The President of Belarus considers it appropriate to step up efforts to strengthen the military potential of the CSTO. The Head of State made this statement in Moscow during a restricted-format meeting of the CSTO Collective Security Council. A. Lukashenko noted: "We support the decisions we plan to adopt today regarding mobile air defense units to support CSTO forces, as well as measures to improve the Collective Air Forces. This serves as an example of why we must continuously adapt the military mechanisms we have developed for ensuring collective security to the realities of the present day. We need to take the experience gained from modern armed conflicts into account".
