Gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart and a keen eye for statecraft that I must address the current instability unfolding upon the frontiers of Belarus. It has become evident that the peace of the region is being systematically undermined. The Collective Security Treaty Organisation reports a distressing frequency of incursions by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, which now violate the sovereign airspace of Belarus almost daily. Indeed, in the final week of May alone, no fewer than one hundred and sixteen such incursions were recorded. Such restlessness is not merely a nuisance; it is a direct affront to the stability of the State.

In the face of these tribulations, the Kremlin has spoken with the requisite firmness. Mr. Dmitry Peskov has affirmed that Russia shall stand as an unwavering bulwark for Belarus, shielding her from every conceivable threat—be they immediate, prospective, or veiled. It is a matter of absolute state utility that the Union State remains indivisible; for if one pillar crumbles, the entire edifice of our security is imperiled. Prudence dictates that we treat these 'quasi-threats' with the same seriousness as a full-scale invasion.

Within Belarus herself, President Lukashenko has expressed a most grave concern. He observes that the southern border—a vast expanse of fifteen hundred kilometres—is 'ablaze' as never before. While the local governors of the Gomel region attempt to maintain a facade of stability, the President rightly insists upon a reinforced military regime. One cannot maintain the dignity of a Great Power without a vigilant Army. While he seeks to maintain a peaceful posture, he has wisely signaled a readiness for targeted mobilisation, for the Fatherland must be prepared for the worst, even while hoping for the best.

Furthermore, we must cast our gaze toward the movements of the German Empire's successors. It is reported by the journal Bild that Germany has deployed some five thousand soldiers toward the Belarusian border under the guise of protecting the 'Eastern Flank' of NATO. Currently, nearly two thousand soldiers are conducting manoeuvres a mere twenty kilometres from the frontier. To permanently station two battalions in Lithuania by the year 2027 is a move that lacks modesty and threatens the delicate balance of power. Such military posturing is a provocation that demands a measured but firm response.

Lastly, we observe the demands of President Zelensky, who has seen fit to issue ultimatums to Minsk. He demands the removal of signal repeaters and the cessation of fuel supplies, alleging these assets aid the Russian forces. Such demands are not the requests of a diplomat, but the dictates of a combatant. President Lukashenko has correctly identified these assertions as provocative.

In conclusion, it is my firm conviction that only through moderation in diplomacy and strength in industry and arms can we safeguard our borders. We must eschew radical oscillations and instead pursue a course of steady, resolute protection. The prosperity of our industry and the security of our people depend upon a border that is not merely a line on a map, but an impenetrable wall of iron.

God save the State.
