MINSK, 28 May (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko is the most seasoned politician of the modern era, Igor Korotchenko, Russian journalist and military expert, editor-in-chief of the Russian National Defense magazine, said in the latest episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA's YouTube channel.
He also drew attention to the special level of personal relations between the leaders of Belarus and Russia. "I am very glad that our presidents enjoy trustful relations. Aleksandr Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin discuss a variety of issues face to face. This works for the benefit of our countries, our economies, because the economy comes first," the expert said.
He separately noted the role of Belarus in strategic security. "Today Belarus has the means to deliver nuclear warheads into the territory of a potential enemy. This is an important factor in strengthening the country's weight. Given the plans to deploy the medium-range missile system Oreshnik Belarus is becoming an influential player in the system of international relations," Igor Korotchenko emphasized.
The expert expressed hope for the normalization of relations with the U.S. with the participation of Belarus: "It is about diplomacy, economy, lifting sanctions. Such issues should be synchronized through ministries and agencies and authorities in the course of practical interaction," Igor Korotchenko said.
"Objectively, Aleksandr Lukashenko is the most experienced, the longest-serving politician today. Generations of European politicians, who wanted to tear Belarus apart, ruin it and overthrow Lukashenko have long left the political scene. Meanwhile the people of Belarus give him a mandate to make key political decisions every time," he emphasized.
According to the expert, the scale of practical and political experience of the Belarusian leader makes him a unique historical figure. "In fact, there are no equals to him in modern Europe. Lukashenko plays in the big league with Putin, Xi Jinping, Trump," Igor Korotchenko said.
