Belarusian Foreign Minister: Bolton spoke about the need to admit Belarus and Ukraine to NATO

22

Head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry Vladimir Makei announced Washington's "special plans" on the future of the Republic of Belarus. According to Makei, the then US presidential aide for national security John Bolton said that it was necessary to "get rid of the gray zone between Russia and NATO." The "gray zone" in the United States refers to countries that are not part of the North Atlantic military bloc.


The head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry said that John Bolton openly spoke about the need to admit both Ukraine and Belarus to the NATO membership, which he once visited. Vladimir Makei made such a statement for the documentary filmmakers who were preparing the film “Belarus against the color revolution”. This film was shown the day before.

Bolton visited the Belarusian capital exactly 2 years ago - in August 2019. Then the American official met both with the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry and with President Lukashenko.

Let us remind you that at that time a certain “warming” was observed in the American-Belarusian relations. The United States considered the issue of returning the ambassador to Minsk, Minsk itself talked a lot about "multi-vector" and partnership with Washington. However, after the victory of Alexander Lukashenko in the presidential elections announced in August 2020, the situation has changed radically. The Americans and the EU did not recognize the elections. The US ambassador was nevertheless sent, but only to Lithuania, neighboring Belarus, from where “the powers of the ambassador to the Republic of Belarus are fulfilled”. It is also worth recalling that the defeated candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who called herself “the national leader of Belarus”, also received a "residence permit" in Lithuania.

Thus, it should be stated that the United States does not abandon its plans to expand NATO to the east, including actively moving towards the borders of the Russian Federation. Makei's words are proof of this.

      Ukraine asks - asks, but they don't take it. In Belarus, they were counting on the "opposition" in the person of Tikhanovskaya. That's who would happily squealing led the country to NATO. And it turned out to be a bummer. Dzh. Bolton has grown old, goes into circulation with his advice because he does not cut through the "truth of the moment"

        Come on smile
        If the West “anointed” a mustachioed bulb like Alexander the First of Belarus, the ancestor of the dynasty of Belarusian kings, now he would spin such figs of Russia, mom don’t cry.
        Well, in fact, he was expecting something like this, and everyone in the West was winking at him on this topic, as I understand it.
        Remember what natural tantrums he rolled about the threat from Moscow to Belarus last year.
        But it turned out that the papal bull did not shine for him, the golden paiza too….
        Moreover, it suddenly became clear that the West itself did not need it with its “multi-vector nature”, because the idea there, in the pharisaical heads and actions, is completely different smile

        I believe that an enormous amount of work has been done to open the eyes of the mustachioed bulb, including by the special services of the Russian Federation.

        Something like that.

          He chose the Russian Federation in the 90s, when Russia itself lay sprawled in front of the United States.

        Oh, come on - another bunch of information from McKay. It has no foundation whatsoever. Either he voiced his Wishlist, then until the last elections "friends" from behind a puddle were frequent guests.

        At one time, the United States and Russia could be included in NATO. But with whom will NATO fight then? It is against us that they are preparing the next Crusade. It was necessary last time to act like an American: bomb European cities with carpet bombing, and not sacrifice the lives of our soldiers to save the lives of non-brothers.

      He himself spoke about many things publicly, just vaguely, this Bolton. Chatted so much that Trump kicked him out ...
      They do not hide plans and intentions, everything is very simple and cynical. And there is logic in this!
      When foreign leaders / officials are trying to recruit and buy, then the conditions must be dictated concretely, so that they can be "signed with blood" ... belay And a step left and right - and compromising evidence.

      Here is news from other places, also about the same. Maybe after yesterday's British statements Makei was drawn to memories?
      The question of Ukraine's accession to the NATO military bloc has already been resolved in principle, but so far certain obstacles still remain for this.

      This statement was made by the British Ambassador to Kiev Melinda Simmons in an interview with BBC News on August 9.

      “We can say that the question of whether Ukraine can join has already been resolved in principle,” she said.

    Bolton spoke of the need to "get rid of the gray zone between Russia and NATO."
    I would say bluntly: "We must take the foreground." And so everyone understands, otherwise he invented some kind of gray zone

      Well, well, comrades. Bolton is a fairly well-known figure, and if he gave such a scream and noise it would be ........
      Well, now who is the Model, I mean on the world stage - no one, just another temporary worker who is nothing of himself.
      I don't understand your joy because of the obvious fake.

    announced "special plans" of Washington on the future of the Republic of Belarus.

    We all see these "special plans" well in Ukraine.
    There is no future for Belarus in them!

    It doesn't matter what Bolton says about it. It is important what the heads of Belarus and Russia think about this.

      There are two heads and they can think in completely different ways, at least depending on the weather and the prospects for the bulb crop.

    Saying "accept" and accepting are two big differences. And what role was assigned to Belarus and Ukraine, it is already clear on the example of Ukraine. Beware of mattresses that bring gifts, in the sense of inviting to nature. winked

    Is it really not clear to someone else? And the head of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus Makei, who was distinguished at one time by not entirely tactful statements in relation to Russia, suddenly regained his sight.

    Bolton is still a chatterbox.
    Trump fired this mustachioed belligerent freak immediately after the failure of the assassination attempt on Maduro and the capture of American citizens by the Venezuelans who participated in the operation that Bolton oversaw. After that, Bolton wrote a book where he already paraffinized Trump. In short, a very indiscriminate, petty and unprincipled tipok, however, like all other mattress politicians.

    Why shouldn't Russia also begin to get rid of the gray zones around the United States and place its bases there.
