MINSK, 18 August (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has sent greetings to participants of the 2nd International Anti-Fascist Congress, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian leader.
“The time has come for all people of good will to join forces in order to oppose the instigators of a new world war, those who have once again raised the banners of fascism and Nazism. We see that the United States of America and its satellites are trying to preserve their hegemonic position and to slow down the development of countries that they see as their rivals. To this end, they are destroying the global security system, inciting color revolutions and armed conflicts on all continents, grossly interfering in the affairs of independent states. They are rewriting the history of World War II, while European structures are adopting resolutions and decrees that justify Nazi war criminals and shift the blame onto the USSR for unleashing the war that became the bloodiest massacre in the history of humankind.
Aleksandr Lukashenko went on saying: “We see the ramifications of this policy in Ukraine, where a harsh, misanthropic pro-fascist regime came to power. It unleashed a civil war in the country and is ready to fight for the interests of the United States to the last Ukrainian standing. Our people who lost every third compatriot during the Great Patriotic War, know well what war is, that’s why we always stand for peace, equality and dialogue of nations. And today all Belarusians, together with the participants of the 2nd International Anti-Fascist Congress, resolutely say: No to war! No to fascism and neo-colonialism!” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The head of state expressed his conviction that Belarus is heard and supported by all countries and peoples who stand for a new fair, multipolar and safe world.
“Today’s congress is designed to consolidate all progressive forces to fight against neo-fascism and neo-Nazism. This is a noble and very difficult mission. I am sure that we need to unite if we want to succeed and prevail. I wish you all success in your work, peace, good health, patience and great victories in the fight for a prosperous, peaceful future of humankind,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
