FM: West pressures Russia, Belarus, but all CSTO states are under threat

Today, the West is primarily pressuring Belarus and Russia, but all CSTO nations are in the crosshairs, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxim Ryzhenkov said at a joint meeting of the Foreign Ministers Council, Defense Ministers Council, and the Committee of Secretaries of Security Councils of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in Moscow on 10 November, BelTA has learned.

“The development of the military-political situation in the CSTO area of responsibility and military build-up trends in Europe cause well-founded concern and underscore the need to consolidate our efforts. Although Belarus and Russia are primarily being pressured today, it must be understood that everyone is in the crosshairs, including the countries present here,” Maxim Ryzhenkov said.
