- You probably remember my statement when I said that we should work carefully despite the fact that it is an acute period, these protesters are hanging around the streets (mainly or practically only in Minsk). Nevertheless, we established the fact that this remaining mass was radicalized. We clearly see the organizers and those who embody these ideas. And I said then that we are working carefully, because they have not crossed the red devil yet. The last few days testify that they have crossed this red line in many directions, Lukashenko emphasized.
The President noted that the protests have become more radical.
— Well, how can one evaluate the fact that they have already entered the railway and are starting to block automation, to close the rails. This can lead to serious accidents on the railway, catastrophes and the death of many people. These are actions of organized criminal groups with signs of terrorism. We are beginning to face terrorist threats, Lukashenko assures.
