Statement of the Central Committee and the Council of the Communist Party of Belarus
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Western political regimes led by the United States continue to obliterate the gains of the socialist system, including in their own states.
To demonstrate the supposedly "no-alternative path" of neoliberal development, they block and suppress any left-wing, socialist-oriented regimes that defend their own path of development not connected with external governance. In fact, this is a new form of a colonial system, where direct military control has given way to the tools of economic, diplomatic, technological, information and other types of dependence.
If individual states are persistent and do not make political concessions to the "new colonial power", economic sanctions go side by side with military intervention. We remember well how the partition of Yugoslavia and the NATO bombing of Belgrade were preceded by a long economic embargo, the purpose of which was to shape the public opinion that the West needed, to engineer a humanitarian crisis and mass unrest in the country. For this purpose, external funds are used to form a "fifth column" inside the states, which acts under the guise of a democratic opposition, but in fact being a net of agents of the West.
The results of many years of intervention and economic blockade by the West can be seen using the examples of modern Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Libya, etc. The ultimate goal of such a policy is to obtain assets and raw materials, free labour force, as well as the creation of the so-called "control zones" in the territory of former sovereign states, where international laws do not apply and drug trafficking channels and terrorist hotbeds are artificially supported.
We do not want such a fate for our country. We have no illusions about the goals of the Western states that initiated the sectoral sanctions against Belarus. In fact, this is a new stage of hybrid aggression that has been waged against our state for more than a year.
The reasons for such actions are obvious to the Communists. In the context of a protracted financial and economic crisis, the capital today, as before, is looking for various ways of markets repartition, including in Eastern Europe. As the world history shows, the simplest and the most effective means of the capital are war, controlled local conflicts, and a prolonged humanitarian crises that destroy production means and bring down the industrial structure of the economy. This has already happened in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, which served as a lesson for us.
At the same time, in relation to Belarus, we see that sectoral sanctions are imposed exclusively on those positions where there is a competition in the markets of the European Union – from the automotive industry to petrochemicals. At the same time, these sanctions have the main political task to bring down the Belarusian state-owned enterprises and, consequently, the social state and social guarantees for the population that are formed from the tax base of these enterprises.
However, the goal stated by the initiators of the sectoral sanctions – which is to influence the political regime in the country in some way – is only a formal pretext for protecting their domestic markets and breaking the established cooperative ties with our enterprises. This is roughly the same scheme that was previously used in the trade war initiated by the United States against the People's Republic of China, where politics was only a formal excuse to resolve their own economic problems.
The package of sanctions of the united Europe was cynically adopted on the 80th anniversary of the attack of the Nazi Germany and its satellites on the Soviet Union. Apparently, the political lessons of the Second World War have not been learned, and international capital, using Eastern European nationalist regimes, is once again targeting the territories of the Russian Federation rich in raw materials and resources. For this purpose, at the initial stage of aggression, hotbeds of instability are created along the perimeter of Russia, designed to turn its borders into uncontrollable and unsafe "grey zones". In this scheme, Belarus is destined exclusively to play the role of a buffer state, a potential source of threat to the Russian Federation and a springboard for the NATO military formations.
We call on the citizens of our country to stand together with the legitimately elected President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, in order to respond to the external pressure and economic sanctions with the unity of the Belarusian people.
We call on citizens of other states, representatives of international organizations and all progressive forces to support the Republic of Belarus in its struggle against the sanctions pressure for the right to independently and sovereignly determine the course of its development.
Those who unleashed this economic, informational, diplomatic and political war should know that, as in June 1941, the Brest Fortress will stand in the way of a treacherous attack as a symbol of the invincible will, selfless struggle of our people in the rear and at the front, and then the inevitable turning point, the so-called "new Stalingrad", will come.
Today, we, the descendants of the victorious Soviet people, again hear the prophetic words "Our cause is right! The enemy will be defeated! The victory will be ours!"
