MINSK, 12 September (BelTA) – Every citizen of Belarus should contribute to the country's development and ensure its peaceful existence, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during a meeting with builders and members of the public at the renovated Loshitsa complex, BelTA has learned.
“You’ve done well. Together, we went through an uprising in 2020. We understood what could have happened. Now, when you look at Ukraine, you can see it clearly. I have to deal with this every day. You know, an American delegation visits us regularly. We hold negotiations with them. We’ll stabilize the situation. We’ll do what’s right for us,” the president said. “Don’t say that we're just a small country and can’t do anything. It’s not about size – small or large – it's about how united we are and how strongly we want to live on our own land without being governed by others.”
“That’s why we all need to do our utmost to live here, work, build, and modernize the country, but not to fight,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.
