Belarus has strongly condemned statements by NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Alexus Grynkewich, who presented what was called the “Theory of Victory”, the country’s Foreign Ministry said.

According to the ministry, the concept envisages pre-emptive strikes on Belarusian territory using drones and ground-based robotic systems.

The ministry said NATO’s rhetoric was becoming increasingly systematic. It said Belarus posed no threat and there were no real preconditions for conflict, but alleged that NATO was planning to increase its military presence near the borders and strike the territory of a sovereign state.

Belarus’s Foreign Ministry said that, beneath defensive wording, the alliance was laying the groundwork for military escalation and aggression. It added that Belarus had never threatened anyone and that its military doctrine was exclusively defensive.

Minsk said it supported openness, de-escalation and dialogue on an equal footing. It called on Western counterparts to act prudently and work together to restore mutual trust.
