President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that the republic is militarily quite capable of resisting the largest states, explaining that in modern conditions the outcome of hostilities no longer depends so much on the size of the army and its military power.
"We must fight not by numbers, but by skill, as our famous commander once said. This is gaining serious relevance today. This suggests that even such a small state as Belarus is quite capable of resisting the largest states,” Lukashenka said at a meeting at the Defense Ministry on Thursday in Minsk. His words are quoted by the Belta agency.
The head of state noted that the Belarusian army is ready for military operations if necessary. “But I emphasize once again: a hot war is what we know how to do and we will do if God forbid we have to. The information confrontation that precedes a hot war and accompanies any military confrontation is very important,” Lukashenko said. According to the President , it is generally accepted that it is difficult to fight with those countries that have not only military power, but also a large population. However, today, he stressed, the outcome of hostilities is no longer as dependent on this factor as it used to be. at its borders
