During His Controversial Speech At The UN, Ryzhenkov Brought Up Hitler

A minister in Lukashenko's government blamed the "collective West" for all the world's problems.
Foreign Minister Maksim Ryzhenkov spoke at the general political debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly. In his propaganda speech, he accused the West as a whole of “undermining the situation” and threatened Europe with “cannon fodder.”
The theme of the debate was “Restoring Trust, Managing Change: The UN Working for the Benefit of All.” Ryzhenkov noted that “the UN does not work for the benefit of all” and “does not manage change.”
According to him, the blame lies with states that are allegedly “deliberately undermining the system of international relations.” More specifically—the collective West.
Ryzhenkov noted that Belarus is “concerned by the policies of the European Union’s leadership.” He claimed that its goal is to preserve its “slipping dominance.” Therefore, the EU is allegedly trying to hinder “global stability and the maintenance of peace.”
— Do the peoples of Europe themselves really crave some sort of revenge against Russia, especially at the cost of their own impoverishment? Of course not. Do they really want to be cannon fodder in a war that European politicians are supposedly are preparing for by 2030? No, they don’t either,” Ryzhenkov stated. — And we know this. But in Brussels, someone really wants to play soldier, to cement their greatness in history. But this has happened before—more than once. And we know how it ended.
Ryzhenkov noted that “the West is already beginning to be held accountable for centuries of colonial plunder, the destruction of cultures, traditions, and the identities of enslaved peoples, and for the slave trade, which claimed millions of lives.” Belarus, he said, supported the UN General Assembly resolution declaring the trade in enslaved Africans and the racial enslavement of Africans to be a grave crime against humanity.
“This is not merely a diplomatic gesture—it is the voice of a country that has itself endured a similar hellish chapter in history. “We know what genocide is—a third of our population was cold-bloodedly killed and tortured during the war by ‘civilized’ Europeans, united by Hitler 85 years ago,” Ryzhenkov noted. — Today, their descendants tell us that they had nothing to do with it, and neither did their grandfathers. Supposedly. But it wasn’t the Führer who set fire to that village house with Belarusian children, elderly people, and women inside. And there were thousands of such houses. We know what the plundering of cultural heritage entails—our wealth, resources, and works of art were taken to the West. Young people were forcibly taken into slavery there as well—in Europe. And today, facing unprecedented sanctions, we have once again felt what it means to be a target. That is why, with a special sense of friendship and brotherhood, we support those who demand historical justice, including on the issue of reparations raised by the African Union.
