MINSK, Jun 30President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that Minsk and Moscow are able to build such a structure of relations that other states in the world will envy, while no one is going to incorporate anyone. «We are not so stupid as to incorporate someone, as they say in the West, or to include in the composition — or not (in the composition — ed.) of Belarus Russia, or not Russia Belarus. We are smart enough so that two independent states can build such a structure of our relations that others in the world will envy. We are moving towards this, we are moving» , Lukashenka said at a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Minsk.September 11, 2021 “I hear all the time: takeover tomorrow, incorporation tomorrow… 30 years have passed! They haven’t incorporated, they haven’t absorbed it. And frankly, we get everything that a sovereign independent state needs from Russia,” Lukashenka stressed. The Belarusian leader drew attention that the two states are pursuing a coordinated foreign policy. “There is no need to shout that “here Putin (President of Russia — ed.) has seized Belarus, he does what he wants.” We have a coordinated, reasonable policy of two sovereign states,” Lukashenka stressed. He stated that the leaderships of the two countries «absolutely soberly and sensibly understand what is happening around.»December 2, 2021 “Yes, we had different times. We argued like close people … I always say: this should be rejoiced. Because not a single Western state — take the last summits — no one argues with anyone anywhere. The «boss» has come The Central Committee, not the «regional committee» from Washington, did not even say, but looked, and everyone ran. And we argue. Because we are close people. And indeed, the truth has always been born in a dispute and will be born, «he stressed. The President noted that at present Belarus and Russia have a special relationship. “The time is like this… When they don’t listen to you, diplomats, then you have to listen to other people. We are for diplomacy to work. But what to do if a hybrid war is going on? We started with the media. On the other hand, no international platform gives results. We have to defend ourselves, resist… They start to choke in the economy,» the Belarusian leader stated, speaking about relations with the West.
