Opinion: The stronger the Belarus-Russia union grows, the more its adversaries rage

26/05/2025 12:05
MINSK, 26 May (BelTA) - The stronger the union between Belarus and Russia becomes, the more their adversaries rage, Russian military observer of the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, retired colonel Viktor Baranets said in a new episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA’s YouTube channel.

“Belarus and Russia must protect what they are building together. Our most valuable asset is the Russian-Belarusian friendship. Europe does not like it. The closer we cooperate with each other, the greater our prosperity will be. I am absolutely certain that the Russian-Belarusian alliance in the economy, defense, science, culture, and agriculture will make them strong enough that no external forces could challenge their sovereignty,” Viktor Baranets said.

Highlighting recent military parades in Minsk and Moscow commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, he noted that these events demonstrated the strength of their armed forces. Viktor Baranets also pointed out that some Russian military equipment contains Belarusian components. “But the parade was not merely about showcasing military power but about honoring our common victory. Belarus was the first to stand against Hitler's forces,” he stressed.

According to him, the stronger the Belarus-Russia alliance becomes, the more its adversaries rage. “But we should move forward with confidence, believing in the rightness of our path,” Viktor Baranets concluded.
