Military personnel bear the greatest responsibility for the country and the people, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the final review of a comprehensive inspection of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus on 1 April, BelTA has learned.
“In war, everything will matter: the training of officers, the degree of proficiency with weapons, physical fitness, and the condition of weapons and military equipment. This is the foundation for survival and victory in battle,” the head of state said.
“The greatest responsibility for the country, for our people who are peace-loving and friendly in their worldview, rests with each of you,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.
Nearly 300 people are taking part in the meeting with the head of state, including commanders of the units that were involved in the inspection.
The large-scale inspection of the Armed Forces was conducted in Belarus from 16 January on the orders of the president. A key feature of the inspection was its organization. The head of state put military units on combat alert, bypassing the Defense Ministry and the General Staff. During the inspection, specific goals were set: to see an objective picture, the real state of the troops, and to assess the actions of military personnel. This is precisely why the measures were conducted with an element of surprise.
