“The recent actions of our eastern brother cannot but raise concern. However, we are not drawing any conclusions yet, including me, before the meeting with the Russian President,” the Belarusian head of state said.

“I want to understand why the Russian Federation would act this way towards Belarus,” Alexander Lukashenko noted.

“Of course, we cannot disregard it. I would like to repeat that we do not make any drama of it. We just want clarity,” Alexander Lukashenko said.

“Once we agreed that the major threats for our country come from the economy. There are no other threats, including on the part of NGOs, some radical opposition and anything else. They cannot pose any threat in the first place. The government still lives up to people’s expectations. Although some people here have given up and stopped working, people still tolerate this government,” the head of state said.

Alexander Lukashenko emphasized that the economy is a very vulnerable target in any country, in particular an export-oriented country in today’s situation.
