00:19:18Hello, on the air of the Belarusian radio and television channel
00:19:21Belarus24, analytical project Actual Microphone. With
00:19:24you, host Dmitry Varanyuk, co-host Elena Shvaiko, and today
00:19:28our studio guest is Tishchenko Alexander Vladimirovich, national security
00:19:31expert. Hello, Alexander Vladimirovich, I welcome you. In
00:19:35these days, Minsk and Belarus are becoming
00:19:37the center of such global events, international events. Well,
00:19:41firstly, today a meeting of the Eurasian Law Council will be held, and already
00:19:45next week Minsk
00:19:48is preparing to host the largest counter-terrorism forum of the CIS
00:19:52countries and SCO countries, a large-scale event, 28
00:19:55states, 10 other international organizations will
00:19:59come here. To begin with, I would like to ask you, as a national security
00:20:03expert, what kind of forum this is in general and what
00:20:06role our country plays here
00:20:09in forming this common security agenda in the Eurasian
00:20:13space, why such a large-scale forum will be held
00:20:16in Minsk. Well, let's first of all determine that
00:20:20Minsk as a platform has long been fixed in this
00:20:23area. In this case, such a
00:20:26multi-factor or multi-contour
00:20:29format of the forum, which is gathering in Minsk, is connected with the fact
00:20:33that we are trying to overcome fragmentation,
00:20:36to create a single block, a single system that
00:20:40will resist all those proxy threats that
00:20:43are being formed around not only the Union State, there
00:20:47the CIS, but Eurasia in general. Why? Because,
00:20:50probably, international terrorism is
00:20:54an outdated concept. So,
00:20:57counter-terrorism, as we consider it today, is probably
00:21:01not just a fight against some criminal
00:21:03elements, or fanatics. It's about
00:21:07the West having long aimed at
00:21:11the structures of Eurasia, not
00:21:13only the Union State, and views
00:21:17Eurasia as the cradle
00:21:20of multipolarity. You see, this
00:21:24attempt - to beat babies,
00:21:27yes, in the Eurasian
00:21:29space,
00:21:32it is already doomed, because Eurasia has gone far
00:21:36ahead, it is no longer the third
00:21:39world, as it was customary in the West to believe,
00:21:42and we see today that the stereotypes
00:21:46that were imposed on us, including by Western parameters...
00:21:50regarding counter-terrorism activities,
00:21:53they do not suit us today. Today we
00:21:57are working out new technologies, new methods, new approaches, new
00:22:00views, our own. Why?
00:22:03Because we began to understand that terrorism as
00:22:06such is a proxy instrument, with the help
00:22:09of which attempts are made to shake
00:22:12the state foundations of precisely the countries
00:22:15of Eurasia, for what? In order to prevent
00:22:18multipolarity. As such, shaking the countries
00:22:22of our region today is already useless and
00:22:25impossible. Why? Because the security of these states is already
00:22:29guarded by such structures as the
00:22:32CIS, CSTO, SCO, that is, these issues,
00:22:36today everyone has developed a certain practice,
00:22:39already combines into a single system.
00:22:43Why Minsk in this matter? Because Minsk
00:22:46today is a model from the point of view.
00:24:20They, upon closer inspection,
00:24:24are also proxy instruments.
00:24:28We were specifically told that these are some bandits, some
00:24:31groups, only taken from somewhere unknown,
00:24:35but they did not say that the beneficiaries are in
00:24:38the West, these groups are controlled by
00:24:41the West, and this
00:24:44is no longer just some criminological
00:24:47factor, it is a military-political one. These are
00:24:50proxy instruments that are indeed trying
00:24:53to strike at state foundations and
00:24:57try to destabilize the state, prepare
00:25:00them for aggression, excuse me, that is, so that it would be
00:25:03susceptible. Therefore, when we talk about our
00:25:06science, about our education in this area, it means that we
00:25:10have made mistakes on our own
00:25:13issues and problems. We now understand more, know
00:25:17more, when we start this matter at all.
00:25:50Shanghai Cooperation Organization, yes, we started with the humanitarian sphere, now
00:25:54economic integration is actively developing,
00:25:56so security, in your opinion,
00:26:00how important is it today within the framework of such
00:26:03structures to develop security as a separate track,
00:26:06we will not use Americanisms, including,
00:26:09числе,
00:26:11can this develop further, what plane can this security
00:26:14topic generally occupy in the CIS space, in the SCO
00:26:17space? Well, if we look at it in detail,
00:26:21then threats and problems usually come from the
00:26:24East and West, yes, for example, there is a state that today
00:26:28is a source, yes, from where these
00:26:32instruments come directly, but there are states that act
00:26:35as beneficiaries. If they act
00:26:39physically, like sending all sorts of terrorists
00:26:42and groups, yes, then the second ones send
00:26:45finances. So these things meet
00:26:49precisely in the Eurasian space, and
00:26:52here, if, for example, the SCO, then it is clear that
00:26:55this is about formats related
00:26:58to economics, yes, from the point of view of
00:27:02economic security, from the point of view of the
00:27:06military situation, yes, then, of course, the western outpost, in this
00:27:09regard Belarus is at the forefront of events,
00:27:13so when we say why this
00:27:16happened, the experience was essentially formed first at
00:27:20the level of the Union State CIS, yes, then it was formed at
00:27:24the level of the CSTO, then these same countries
00:27:27began to form within the framework of the SCO, yes, when this experience
00:27:30began to be transferred to...
00:28:02hegemon and its satellites. Based on
00:28:06this, we are forced to realize that we need to invest in
00:28:10this format, why? Because by not
00:28:12protecting these paths and routes of multipolarity, we
00:28:16are doomed. Therefore, in order not to become
00:28:20a target or become a victim, one must become - as
00:28:23they say, a leading factor. Therefore, everything here is very
00:28:27clearly understandable. You spoke about sharing experience, but
00:28:30what experience can Belarus share
00:28:34and what can it offer its security
00:28:37colleagues? Well, look, let's
00:28:40say this: first, cognitive security, yes, in what
00:28:43sense? That is, we demonstrated
00:28:47how effectively and how rigidly one must act in terms
00:28:50of protecting hostile,
00:28:54destructive external meanings that they are trying to
00:28:57impose on us. Further, information
00:29:00technologies, military...
00:29:32stood their ground, yes, regarding the most
00:29:35powerful pressure from the West. No one else
00:29:37but Belarus was subjected to such pressure. All the others who
00:29:40were targeted, yes, they were victims of these thousand cuts,
00:29:44but Belarus was tried to be hit
00:29:47hard, and in this regard, we demonstrated
00:29:50how a small country can become a fortress,
00:29:54and this fortress today is
00:29:57a model for many states within the SCO, and
00:30:00not just once.
00:30:03Let's move on to the Western vector in contrast.
00:30:07It's also interesting to hear your opinion. A meeting of the working group on
00:30:10the future of NATO is also being prepared. Just
00:30:13this week we heard many different
00:30:17statements, starting from the US itself, where
00:30:20they say that we will not invite NATO,
00:30:23Great Britain, France to the meeting, well,
00:30:26ending with the leaders of some individual European states, in principle,
00:30:30the leaders of the NATO bloc itself, about
00:30:34them again militarized slogans, attacks on
00:30:37the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation and constantly, constantly
00:30:41the topic sounds that the Russian Federation, and we,
00:30:44considering that Belarus is within the framework of the Union State, therefore Belarus also, that it is
00:30:47an aggressor, that it is a threat, and this, this is pumping up
00:30:51militarized structures, the population, the entire information
00:30:54platform, in principle. So I would like to talk about what is happening in
00:30:58NATO today in general, on the one hand, such harsh rhetoric of Europeans
00:31:02against the entire East, on the other hand,
00:31:05the US position that we will reorganize
00:31:09NATO and will not invite France,
00:31:13Great Britain to the group meeting. What is happening there? Analysis
00:31:21in this regard, I will say this, if you discard all the noise, yes,
00:31:25white, which shrouds this whole situation, maybe
00:31:28deliberately, yes, yes, deliberately, of course, I will say this, if
00:31:32you take a map and lay out all the participants who
00:31:35were invited, and then also
00:31:39remember who suddenly became a newly
00:31:42NATO member, then immediately arises...
00:32:45Germany, why, do you think she will
00:32:48fight? No, this is a barrier detachment,
00:32:52its task is a barrier detachment on the path
00:32:54of possible escape or retreat of Polish
00:32:58forces, you see, so that they do not retreat. Therefore, this is why
00:33:01Germany is in this bloc. Here already Finland, Sweden, there,
00:33:05Norway, yes, these are the guys who will have to close all these
00:33:09narrow corridors that lead from
00:33:12the side of Murmansk,
00:33:22the Arctic and
00:33:23the North.
00:33:26What, to compete with Russia economically in
00:33:29the Arctic? America is not capable, therefore
00:33:33it is only considering today the situation
00:33:36related to strengthening military
00:33:39presence and military blockade, although this is also
00:33:42such a question, you know how...
00:34:45this is a thorn, I would like to say in the fifth point, but I will
00:34:49say in Article Five of NATO, why? Because the Kaliningrad
00:34:52region in this regard and the Suwalki Corridor
00:34:55is a very strong irritant. The Kaliningrad
00:34:58region, it is sufficiently equipped in
00:35:02terms of responses and
00:35:05support for the main forces,
00:35:08if something happens, yes, regarding
00:35:10unblocking the path to the Atlantic, so
00:35:13here... Of course, there is simply more of a
00:35:17semantic cognitive escalation
00:35:20of the situation around Kaliningrad, but the fact that
00:35:24Kaliningrad is becoming a potential military target
00:35:26today, this cannot be ruled out at all,
00:35:30yes, there could be a harsh response in this
00:35:33regard, but I will say
00:35:36that
00:35:38this is also a challenge to militarization, that
00:35:42is, again the old rake, yes? So that we step on
00:35:46the rake of the arms race,
00:35:48so here you need to think and analyze more, but in
00:35:52general the contour is like this, the Arctic, it's clear, good, but
00:35:56against this background, support for Ukraine, NATO again declared, especially in...
