“Look how many appeals of these former servicemen, Afghans.
How many men, and women ..., even more than men: take us, we will be in the squads, we will be in the detachments, we can do a lot!
Why not involve us, including armaments, in these flying detachments of former military personnel?
They can help us a lot.
And every person needs to feel that he is protecting his family and his land, ”BelTA quotes Lukashenka as saying.
Lukashenka cited Kyrgyzstan as an example, where, according to him, “all the security forces fled” and the people's guards “extinguished all the fires”.
“Therefore, the people's guards must work.
In the end, they must rouse themselves and protect.
You don't need a country, you and I - generals and other people, riot police, internal troops, army - will ensure the protection of the country.
Let them provide protection for their homes, ”Lukashenka said.
Lukashenko also said that in a conversation with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, he warned him about his readiness to respond to threats from foreign countries.
