“The entire political process should be based on purely democratic principles that benefit people of Ukraine instead of oligarchs and corruption,” said the Belarusian leader.

Alexander Lukashenko did not go into details but noted it was a matter of negotiations and arrangements. “But any negotiations and arrangements can take you so far. If politicians, political groups and parties in Ukraine get tangled with lengthy negotiations, harmonization for the sake of some balance, it will lead to another fall of Ukraine. Concrete actions are now needed. Possibly actions by a specific individual or a certain group of like-minded fellows purely for the benefit of the Ukrainian nation. If the nation wants it that way, it is the goal. One has to do his utmost to reach that goal,” stressed the Belarus President.

“I would like to underline once again that the situation is not even close to that over there. Another batch of idle talks is in progress with a good share of lies. Everyone tries to obtain a position of power. People are deceived. People are driven crazy, they have lost their reference points and don’t know who they can trust! I am afraid that things will stay as they are after these elections. It is a wrong process, not the way Ukraine has to go,” believes the Belarusian head of state.

“I don’t want Ukrainians to take offense with me, but any politician knows what Ukrainian people want,” said Alexander Lukashenko. “That politician seems to promise the right things during the election campaign. But such politicians are on a payroll of some oligarch. They may say the right things but once in parliament they will act for the benefit of oligarchs”.

The Belarus President said he believes that Ukraine will not avoid having to suppress oligarchic clans. “They just have to be destroyed. As long as there are oligarchs in Ukraine, by the way, they have their owned armed forces, their interests lie far away from Ukraine, their money is not in Ukraine, they can flee the country at any moment, they have nothing in common with the Ukrainian nation. Therefore, sooner or later this president or another one will have to think hard about what to do with these people. Either they fall in, roughly speaking, and start acting in the interest of the Ukrainian nation or they have to be removed from the political scene,” stressed Alexander Lukashenko.
