“As for the application of Belarus for membership in the UN Security Council for the period 2024-2025, this is a very interesting story.
Belarus has been on the lists of the Eastern European group of countries as an agreed candidate since 2007.
Slovenia ended up there later.
And nobody tried to change this situation, ”he said at a briefing.
He noted that when the Western countries realized that Minsk is likely to get a seat in the UN Security Council, they decided to prevent this.
Polyansky added that Slovenia hastily decided to apply for the same deadline as Belarus.
“This is an absolutely clear provocation, and I hope that Slovenia's application will fail, because it is against all the rules and norms of civilized behavior.
This is clearly politically motivated, ”he said.
As the Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko said earlier, the country will be ready for retaliatory measures if the sanctions confrontation from the West does not stop.
