Lukashenko: We Don't Want To Go The Way Of Ukraine

The dictator fears a Russian invasion of Belarus.

Dictator Alexander Lukashenko stated during a meeting with the governor of the Ulyanovsk Region, Alexei Russkikh, that he is concerned about calls by Russian bloggers to occupy our country.

“I follow the media very closely, because today the war is being waged, first and foremost, in the media. And to be frank with you, I’m sometimes surprised by what some people—whether they’re bloggers or something else—are writing about Belarus. About ‘multi-vector policy’ and so on. I’ve said this many times already: a multi-vector policy in no way distances us from the Russian Federation. Yes, we pursue a multi-vector policy because the economy is at the core of it,” Lukashenko stated.

According to him, the West has ceased cooperation with him. Therefore, as part of this multi-vector policy, he has turned to the South, Southwest, and East, and is developing relations with Africa.

“Our interests and vectors lie where our economy is. This has nothing to do with our deep-rooted relations, first and foremost with you, the Russian Federation. That is why all this chatter about this ‘multi-vector’ policy and the accusations leveled at Lukashenko are completely incompatible,” said the usurper. “It’s not up to me to change any of these vectors now. Some have even gone so far as to claim that ‘Lukashenko is not an ally.’ Well, that’s a matter of taste. For now, we (and I think this will continue to be the case) find common ground with the leadership of the Russian Federation—with the President of Russia and with the leaders of the major parties. There are no differences in our approaches.

We are patriots; we are ready to defend our Fatherland. And you must know that there is no retreat here, and certainly no betrayal—nor should there ever be. You can see in Ukraine where betrayal leads. “We do not want to repeat that fate,” said Lukashenko.

He also noted that Belarus is striving to develop all the industrial potential that has remained from the Soviet era.

“We haven’t lost anything from the Soviet era; we haven’t shut anything down or hidden anything—on the contrary, we’ve developed it. And since we, as the classic said, stood on the shoulders of giants, this helped preserve what we have today. This is important for any state,” said the dictator. “And here, China serves as a very telling example for us. We’re friends with Xi Jinping; we often discuss this topic with him. And he often tells me that they didn’t deny anything (in China)—neither the Mao Zedong era, nor the Deng Xiaoping era, nor anyone else’s. They took all the best parts. And just look at the results of China’s development. It is the world’s leading economy, a leading country that everyone is forced to reckon with. Whether you like China or not—like the Americans—you have to reckon with it.”
