“Permanent Representative of Belarus to the UN Valentin Rybakov indicated our attitude towards this action as relevant and complete as possible. Belarus does not pose a threat to regional and global peace and security, does not threaten the integrity and sovereignty of other states and interfere in their internal affairs. It is difficult for me to imagine that anyone in their right mind would claim otherwise. Well, no one is immune from morbid fantasies and inflamed perceptions. You can draw your own conclusions from here,” said the spokesman of the Be

MINSK, 29 December (BelTA) – The Belarus Democracy, Human Rights, and Sovereignty Act of 2020 signed by outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump is a strange and useless document, Anatoly Glaz, Head of the Information and Digital Diplomacy Office, Press Secretary of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told the media, BelTA has learned.
“Indeed, outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump signed the so-called Belarus Democracy, Human Rights, and Sovereignty Act of 2020 in a package with many other legislative pieces. Our attitude to such steps and to this act is quite clear and has been repeatedly voiced, including in the relevant statements of the Parliament. This strange and useless document is hardly worth paying a lot of attention to, to put it mildly, from all points of view. It certainly won t help to strengthen the sovereignty of Belarus,” Anatoly Glaz noted.

MINSK, 18 December (BelTA) – Belarus has prepared measures in response to new sanctions of the European Union.

The official said: “We ve sketched out prospects in this context more than once, rather thoroughly and at different levels. So, they should be understandable for our European partners. A totally stupid and short-sighted decision, which is flawed in every aspect and will only lead to negative consequences, including for the high goals and ideals the European Union allegedly stands for.”
