Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei focused special attention on the active build-up of the arms race and increased militarization of the European region, speaking on February 18 at a meeting of the collegium of the Foreign Ministry.

The global confrontation, which has passed from a latent to an open phase, stated the minister, whose words are quoted by BelTA, "is accompanied by a sharp increase in economic competition for access to resources and technologies, the struggle for control over critical supply chains, the desire for "geopolitical development" of the territories of third states" .

According to him, against the backdrop of Russia's serious bid to unconditionally take into account its interests in the field of regional and global security, and "the continued economic growth of China, which has already outstripped the United States in many respects, Washington has stepped up opposition to both" systemic competitors ".

And in the flaring up information wars, he stressed, the idea of ​​the inevitability of a new big war is aggressively imposed on the average consumer of information in the Western and some other segments of the Internet and the media.
