Letter from Putin and relations with Russia: Lukashenka made several statements on election day

9

On August 9, 2020, on the day of elections for the head of state in Belarus, incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko made several statements that relate to Russia.

Lukashenko said that he had received a letter from Russian President Vladimir Putin containing information concerning Russian citizens arrested at the end of July 2020 near Minsk. At present, the employees of the Investigative Committee of Belarus are working with the five-page document.



According to Lukashenko, Putin offered to "investigate in detail" what happened and shared the information the Kremlin has on this matter. Also, the President of Belarus commented on the data that there was a provocation by a "third country" that wanted to embroil Minsk and Moscow.

Maybe, but what does it matter to me who provoked it? I work after the fact <...> I don't care who provoked, who directed. This is secondary, the main thing is that they do not start a fire in the center of Minsk. That's what matters to me

- explained Lukashenko.

The Belarusian leader stressed that Minsk will take into account all these circumstances, building further relations with Moscow. At the same time, he assured that Belarus is ready to normalize relations with Russia.

Yes, I reproached Russia for switching from fraternal to partnership relations. After that, it was clearly stated by the President of Russia: "We will build fraternal relations with you."

- specified Lukashenko.

The Belarusian leader explained that he received the letter the day after the telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart, which took place on August 7, 2020. He added that during the conversation, the heads of the two states agreed that "no media, Wagners and others" will be able to influence good-neighborly relations between Minsk and Moscow.

This is the quintessence, the essence of our conversation with the President of Russia

- summed up Lukashenko.

    You must first sign ALL roadmaps, and ONLY then talk about fraternal relations. But this is my personal opinion of an ordinary person.
    And what Lukashenka said is one thing, this is how Putin will act - this is the main thing. But there is such a word as geopolitics, and sometimes you have to step on the throat of your own song in order to achieve something more for Russia.

      I think this is impossible to do. Judge for yourself - you cannot do this in your own family. Even a year ahead. It is necessary not to plan, but to do. Mutually beneficial deals. We are members of the CSTO. Is it necessary to explain that these relations are ABOVE any others, with countries that are not part of this union? What do both sides need? Is it just loot? Or maybe an alliance for joint protection is more important, because there is nothing without security. Somehow we are very negligent about this agreement. There are many participants, but no allies. Isn't it time to start slowly dealing with them, how much we need them?

    But father has finally lost its borders. It is high time for him to designate them. Otherwise, there is simply no limit to the impudence of this "collective farm chairman". Previously, I treated him with respect, for all his shortcomings. Now, except for disgust, nothing causes.

    So it will sit on the neck of Russia, that is, on our neck, even up to the "white slippers".

    Ha. If Lukashenka wanted, he would have asked all sorts of media-schnicks and Commentators.

    But for some reason he did not want to. How short-sighted.

    The letter and conversation with Putin suited him more ...
