MINSK, 7 February (BelTA) – I am convinced that in the future Ukraine will become an ally of Belarus and Russia, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said in an interview with the VGTRK journalist, radio and TV host Vladimir Soloviev, BelTA has learned.
Vladimir Soloviev asked the president how he sees the future of the Union State in 10-15 years, what country can join it during this period.
"You know, Belarus is already a member. I think that Kazakhstan had its lesson [the January protests]. If we talk about the term of 15 years, I am sure that Ukraine will join too if we do not make mistakes," Aleksandr Lukashenko said. "Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, I think, will also join due to their economic necessity."
