Lukashenko: Belarus wants humane treatment from the East and no urging from the West

MINSK, 2 July (BelTA) – Belarus wants humane treatment from the East and no urging from the West. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during a solemn assembly held on 2 July ahead of Independence Day, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “Today Belarus is being split apart. The East is afraid of losing us. I am not trying to hide it. And I understand our Russian brothers. After all, we don't want to flee anywhere. We just want to be treated humanely in our common home where we lived and live as brothers. It is the only requirement. We will earn the rest on our own.”

Belarus does not want to be spurred by the West, the president stressed. “The French distinguished themselves recently. But they should not be the ones to talk about it when there are still ‘yellow vest' protesters in their streets. A dreadful competitive fight is in progress. We, Belarusians, should survive this fight and do it in a pretty way. We should not create problems for ourselves. By the end of the year we will get to the development track we've always followed,” the head of state is convinced.
