Alexander Lukashenko at the Fourth Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security: "Security mechanisms in the form of arms control and confidence-building measures have been practically destroyed. The system of checks and balances, which during the Cold War helped prevent the descent into the abyss of a global nuclear conflict, is not working." "With all due respect to this organization, a lot is said, but almost nothing is done. Once the League of Nations, which was replaced by the United Nations, collapsed due to its inability to prevent World War II. I'm afraid the UN is meant for that role. I wouldn't like it." "Western countries never get tired of scaring their populations, especially now, with an absurd threat from the East, supposedly preparing for war with Russia in 2030. It is unlikely that the West will seriously understand what kind of military conflict this will be." "While the redistribution of the world continues before our eyes, the main reason for this, hands on heart, is the struggle for resources and irresponsible competition. Thanks to Trump for showing us this clearly. Look at Venezuela, the kidnapping of President Maduro. Why does anyone need oil? Well, there are very large reserves. If only there was time. I could tell you a lot about this Venezuelan process, I was also involved in this Venezuelan process. Before the capture of the president of Venezuela and it was possible without all this nonsense, without capturing the president - a shame - in the modern world, to solve all the problems, including oil." "It's not for nothing that I talk about the Americans so much here. Although they are not in our area, a lot depends on them. President Trump's policies are polarizing the world and causing, what should be hidden, justified criticism. But Trump, with his actions, even if contradictory, is actually protecting the world from a third world war, which could break out in this nuclear pattern. "Yes, just to prevent Trump from allowing the Europeans to start a nuclear conflict, he should be given a peace prize.
