Army could be drafted in to ‘protect monuments’ as thousands protest in Belarus
The army could be drafted in to protect war monuments, Belarus’ minister of defense warned Sunday as tens of thousands of people attended a rally in the country’s capital to demonstrate against the disputed presidential election.
“We are strictly warning in case of disruption of the order and tranquility in these places, you will be dealing not with the police, but with the army,” Viktor Krenin said in a video statement posted on the Ministry of Defense’s official channel on the Telegram messaging application.
