Sergei Naryshkin, head of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation, said that the existence of the Union State of Russia and Belarus was causing “gnashing of teeth” in the West. This was reported by RIA News.
“The existence of the Union State of Russia and Belarus causes gnashing of teeth in many Western capitals, and not only its existence, but also progressive and confident development,” Naryshkin said.
According to him, Western intelligence services are using all kinds of tools (interference in internal affairs, non-system opposition, propaganda) to create conflict between Moscow and Minsk.
Before this, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov congratulated his Belarusian counterpart Sergei Aleynik on the occasion of the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus. aforementionedHe said Russia and Belarus would work together to deal with threats posed by Western countries.
Celebrating the day of unity of the peoples of the two countries on April 2, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko noted that the experience of the Union State makes it possible to quickly and effectively respond to challenges and threats.
Previously Lukashenko answered being called a dictator.
