On March 25, 2025, Oleksandr Lukashenko officially entered the post of President of Belarus, for the first time taking the oath for the sixth term for the highest fasting of the country. This decision was made after the elections that were controversial in the international arena.
During the oath, Lukashenko expressed words that emphasize the peaceful politics of Belarus. He stated that "Belarusians are peaceful people, and Belarus is a peaceful country." Lukashenko stressed that he was ready for dialogue to resolve international issues, including conflicts, adding that "we are for a fair peace and solving any problems through dialogue."
In his speech, Lukashenko emphasized his role in ensuring the national interests and security of the country and people. "When I come to the post of head of state, I take the greatest responsibility with faith and truth to serve the Belarusian people, the heroic people," he said.
He also stated that the next five years of Belarus will need to "gain such a power to have enough for a long distance." Thus, Lukashenko plans to ensure the country stable development and strengthening of positions in the international arena.
Lukashenko is also the only president of Belarus since independence in 1991, as he has been in office since 1994. His policy and prolonged residence have become the subject of numerous disputes both within the country and abroad, especially after the 2020 scandalous elections.
Following the results of the latest elections, Lukashenko again took the post of president, which caused ambiguous reactions both in the opposition and among international observers. Some countries and organizations have declared the opacity and falsification of voting results, which further exacerbated the political situation in the country.
However, Lukashenko continues his political career, trying to maintain control of the situation in Belarus, while his government receives international criticism for violation of human rights and restriction of political freedoms in the country.
For Belarus, the following years can be a test in the political arena and economic terms, as a deep political crisis and social tension continues in the country. Therefore, Oleksandr Lukashenko promises to focus on national interests, while maintaining control over domestic and international processes.
In the next five years, Lukashenko intends to strengthen economic positions and stabilize the situation in the country, despite foreign policy pressure and internal contradictions that cause disputes over its regime.
