SHKLOV DISTRICT, 27 September (BelTA) – During his working trip to Shklov District, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko commented on his lengthy talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on 26 September, BelTA has learned.
According to the head of state, he and the Russian leader discussed joint solutions and steps in the current challenging situation: “We were thinking about how we could survive in these difficult times.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized that the current global situation compels even vast, resource-rich nations like Russia to carefully consider their course of action, let alone smaller countries such as Belarus, where it is all the more crucial to work efficiently in order to develop and sustain livelihoods on their own land.
“The world is torn apart: this is mine, and that is mine. And they are turning up pressure. They will not leave us alone. Meanwhile I am persuading you to work harder,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
