The Council of the BNR urged to raise the issue of “Russian military occupation” of Belarus at the session of the UN General Assembly

by time news

Assessing the statement of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin about the intention to deploy nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus, the Council of the BNR saw in this intention “complete dependence Lukashenka from the Kremlin” and fixing the gap “between Lukashenka’s interests and the aspirations of the Belarusian people, who as early as 1990 in the Declaration on State Sovereignty expressed their intention to achieve the country’s nuclear-free status.”

U statement The Council of the Belarusian People’s Republic draws attention to the fact that the probable “presence of Russian nuclear warheads creates a real threat both for the neighboring countries – Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, and for the Belarusian people themselves, as it makes the territory of the country a practically guaranteed target for a nuclear strike.”

“Belarus, while maintaining formal signs of independence, is de facto under the political, economic and cultural occupation of Moscow, under which Belarusians as a nation are threatened with extinction. By deploying nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus, Putin is putting the Belarusian people at risk of their physical existence, the statement says.

It is also reminded that “at the time of maximum freedom, in the early 1990s, Belarusians voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons. At the same time, the signatories of the Budapest Memorandum (1994) declared guarantees of the sovereignty of Belarus.”

“In this situation, the Council of the BNR calls on the states – signatories of the Budapest Memorandum, as well as the neighbors of Belarus, to initiate consideration at the session of the UN General Assembly of the issue of Russian military occupation in collusion with the usurper of power Lukashenko. Belarus should be freed from the rule of two dictators as soon as possible, whose alliance poses a real threat to the people of Eastern Europe,” the Council of the People’s Republic of Belarus said in a statement.

  • On December 5, 1994, a document on security guarantees was signed in connection with the accession of Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which was called the “Budapest Memorandum”.
  • According to him, the USA, Great Britain and Russia undertook to respect the independence, sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine, to refrain from threats or the use of force and economic pressure, to seek immediate actions of the UN Security Council in order to provide assistance to Ukraine if it becomes a victim of an act of aggression or threat of aggression with the use of nuclear weapons.
  • The same obligations apply to Belarus and Kazakhstan.
