And then, we read the manuals of color revolutions. Moreover, plus to the manuals of color revolutions (these are feature, we will talk about this today in the Ministry of Defense in the Center for Strategic Management) elements of external interference have already appeared," Lukashenka said.

“That is, what I said - in fact, according to the scenario, an aggression against Belarus unfolds. We need to contact Putin, the President of Russia, so that I can talk with him now - because this is already a threat not only to Belarus. You know, some Russians, I look, are too smart there, and they start shouting: “Well, here, Belarus, we don’t like that, not that way...” I want to say that the protection of Belarus today is no less than the protection of our entire space, the Union State, and an example to others. This wave will roll there. That is why they have clung to us so much," the President stressed.
