MINSK, November 12. /TASS/. Belarus has the capability to deliver an immediate and crushing response to the enemy, the country’s Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin said.

According to the ministry, a training exercise involving territorial defense troops is currently underway in the Mogilev Region. The minister thanked the called-up reservists for their contribution to the country’s defense capabilities and noted the importance of such events for ensuring the republic’s security.

"Today, this type of activity can be used as a tool for interacting with our people as part of their training. It is important that we have come to understand and address this issue. There is a very good principle in an ancient treatise on war: ‘the art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him.’ Today, we are focusing on this, we are assessing the situation. We possess the strength in our country that currently prevents our enemies from launching an open war against us.

"And there must be people and forces who, no matter what scenario is thrown at us, can stand up and defend their land, their families, and, above all, themselves. That is what matters," the minister emphasized.
