Belarusian President Lukashenka warned about the possibility of hunger in the country.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenka stated that the republic might face hunger. He made this statement during an offsite seminar focused on agriculture.

The Belarusian leader claimed that soon “there will be nothing to eat” in the country if the high rate of livestock deaths is not addressed.

According to the head of state, the primary reasons for the record mortality are inefficiency in the agro-industrial sector, “chaos in agriculture,” and disciplinary issues. The president dismissed rumors of a labor shortage, asserting that people were simply not properly organized or compelled to work.

Additionally, Lukashenka criticized opposition journalists, referring to them as “runaway scoundrels.”

Furthermore, the Belarusian president urged for adherence to labor discipline as a means to avoid war.
