The Minister of the Interior quoted Lukashenko.

Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Kubrakov, during a briefing for State Traffic Police officers, urged them to “fear no one” and be prepared to use their weapons if necessary. This was reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ press service on its Telegram channel.

The minister emphasized the need for an “objective assessment of the behavior of citizens who attempt to threaten traffic police officers.” According to him, any unlawful actions against a police officer must be documented.

“Don’t be afraid of anyone—you represent the law! Our “president” often says: act according to the law, and everything will be fine. And I, as head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will always protect you!

Kubrakov urged his colleagues to keep their personal safety in mind.

— Any risk must be justified. It’s also important to be prepared to use your weapon if necessary. Take care of yourselves—that’s the most important thing. As for the rest, I’m 150% confident we’ll restore order!
