Belarus critically about the movements of Poland and Lithuania. There were words about hybrid war
Wolfowicz spoke to journalists after the annual meeting of the secretaries of the security councils of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which took place in Moscow on November 5.
The Belarusian said that what Poland and Lithuania are doing on the border are elements of a hybrid war. However, as he added, “Belarus is trying to conduct dialogue” and “find common ground with each of the neighboring countries,” BelTA quotes. Wolfowicz also referred to the words of the president of his country, Alexander Luakshenko, who said that “neighbors are not chosen, they come from God.”

Then the politician said, referring to the night of September 9-10, that unmanned aerial vehicles had recently appeared over the territory of Belarus and were heading towards Poland. — We made a gesture and alerted the Polish leadership in advance. We shot something down on our territory, something failed, but we controlled it and saw it and informed Poland – assured Wolfowicz, quoted by the agency, assessing that “Poles were completely confused and unprepared”. — In a country that wants to consider itself the first in Europe in military terms, he added.
— Poles, instead of expressing thanks constructively, starting a dialogue and objectively understanding the reasons, closed the border for a week. Who did they do worse to? First of all, for themselves, for their people, said the Belarusian, then turning his attention to Lithuania, where the border crossings with Belarus have also been recently closed. — Over 1.5 thousand Lithuanian trucks remained on the territory of Belarus, he emphasized.
Wolfowicz, according to BelTA, also announced that during the CIS meeting, Belarus pointed out that the activities carried out by Lithuania and Poland are not a threat to the stability of Belarus, but to other countries whose cargo is transported from the East to the West.
