Former KGB Lieutenant Colonel Valery Kostka: For Me, Lukashenka Is Not a Commander-in-Chief
Valery Kostka

Everyone who participated in the compilation of the lists will be held accountable for their actions.

Lukashenka stripped 87 officers of the military and special ranks. What do people deprived of their titles think about the steps taken by the authorities? Former Lieutenant Colonel of the KGB Valery Kostka answered the questions of Belaruskaya Prauda.

- Lukashenka has no such right. Only a court can admit that, by my actions, I damaged the honor and dignity of an officer: and I never put the officer's honor at stake. And Baradach, and Aniska? Baradach and Aniska went through Afghan, Baradach was twice wounded, was twice in intensive care, twice awarded the Order of the Red Star, commanded a special forces brigade - the best brigade in the Soviet Union. The dirty trick is too small.

Lukashenka has the right to strip only those who are his subordinates. And I am not subordinate to Lukashenka, I have already retired for more than 20 years, excluded from all lists - even during the war, he has no right to call me for service. For me, Lukashenka is not a commander-in-chief.

What is the rank of lieutenant colonel for Kostka? I have retired for 28 years. I was a lieutenant colonel - became a private, what will change in my life? Today, the title was taken away - tomorrow, it will be returned, today, the pension was taken away - tomorrow, it will be returned 10 times. Everyone who participated in the compilation of the lists will be held accountable for their actions. Everyone should understand what time we live and how long the dictatorship is left.

Lukashenka clearly showed the whole of Belarus that Kostka is not his man, he is a man of different views. I never called Sasha Aliaksandr Ryhoravich: in the 90s, we called each other by name. I know his character very well.

We live in a fateful time for Belarus, and everyone must decide: who is who. Lukashenka determined that I was not with him, which makes me especially happy. Although, I have never been with him. Even before, I understood that he was not my candidate. Thanks to Lukashenka for not recognizing me as his man.
