Belarus explains Minsk’s consent to Moscow’s oil condition

6

Recently сообщалосьas President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko announced Minsk’s readiness to buy oil from Russia at world prices. After which, on February 7, 2020, a meeting took place between the father and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Sochi, at which the high parties agreed on oil issues.

And so, on February 9, 2020, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Belarus Dmitry Krutoy commented on these agreements, according to which Belarusian refineries would buy oil from Russia at world prices. In his opinion, Belarus does not need any special exclusive conditions for the supply of Russian oil and gas.

If we talk about an agreement on oil and the oil market, the Russian side agreed that Belarusian refineries would buy oil by agreement with Russian oil companies at prices that are set on the world market

- said Cool.

At the same time, Krutoy specified that Belarus intends to continue cooperation with all Russian oil companies. Moreover, negotiations on this issue should start in the near future.

In turn, the Belarusian political columnist Artyom Shraibman, who has no direct relation to oil, has already explained Minsk’s decision. For objectivity, it should be noted that Schreibman is the Master of Politics and Communication at the London School economics and he is very respected in the Carnegie Moscow Center.

So, according to the expert analyst, the President of Belarus is not interested in the dialogue on integration with Russia. He is confident that relations between Minsk and Moscow will now become more pragmatic. Moreover, the decision made by Minsk can supposedly improve the Belarusian economy, since dependence on cheap Russian energy resources is very similar to drug dependence.

From the point of view of Belarus, it is rather a victory, because the risks of losing sovereignty disappear

- emphasized the local "patriot" Shraybman.

In this sense, a smooth abandonment of the object of dependence is usually beneficial and may push the authorities towards market reforms, diversification of foreign trade and foreign policy.

- summed up Shreibman.

By the way, there are almost as many similar “Belarusian patriots” in Belarus in percentage terms as the same “Ukrainian patriots” in Ukraine. They do not care much about the specifics of what Putin and Lukashenko really agreed on. The main thesis of such an audience is “away from Russia”.

    I will die among your gardens! ”
    Thought - and began to eat.

    Schreibman and others like him are the fifth column and agents of the State Department, who, with the support of Pompeo, want to make Belarus a vassal of the United States and, depending on Washington, like in Ukraine, fulfill Brzezinski’s doctrine.

    The main thesis of such an audience is “away from Russia.

    The author made an interesting conclusion. Here, in the comments, I constantly urge the Russian authorities to annex Donbass and not only. And here they answer me: "Why do we need them, to feed these million people?" And why is Donbass not needed, and why are they offended by Belarus that it does not want to join the Union State? Where is the logic? I understand so. Someone already owns the enterprises in Donbass or have been destroyed. To get profit from them, this profit must first be invested in them. Correctly? And in Belarus, all enterprises are state, workers and modernized. You can immediately privatize them and make a profit! Therefore, Belarus and our oligarchs need Belarus, and Donbass and Ukraine - purple !!!!

    Oh well...

    Lukashenko said Minsk’s readiness to buy oil from Russia at world prices.

    Just - FALSE. Lukashenko left after the meeting without even attending a press conference.

    But they agreed in the opinion of the author of the article, of course, about a multi-way, and in a couple of months the Russian governor-general will sit in Minsk, the monarchy will be introduced into the Constitution, and of course, all this is done in order to finally free our Central Bank from the influence of the Fed . Everything must be done secretly, otherwise the Fed will put pressure on Putin through the 7th column (this is the most secret one, after the 5th secret column and the 6th super secret column)

    In the morning in Sochi old Sashka
    He ate porridge in a cancer pose.
    In the afternoon he ate porridge from a club,
    Some ghouls and toys at a shell-shocked cuckoo.
    In the evening, as much as he could, he asked for a freebie.
    Old man, eat porridge! Blow home, rejoice that the day is alive!
