Opinion: Belarus has never been source of disputes in Belarus-Russia relations

MINSK, 21 January (BelTA) – Belarus has never been a source of conflicts, and those who are trying to foment mutual distrust are enemies of the Russian and Belarusian peoples, Russian expert, Doctor of Political Science Aleksei Binetsky said in an interview with the Belarus 1 TV channel, BelTA informs.

“Belarus has never caused conflicts. The mentality is completely different. Those who are trying to incite mutual distrust using the ‘Belarusians are freeloaders' card are the enemies of the Russian and Belarusian peoples. These people must be named. Not necessarily judged or tried, but we just need to understand that this has nothing to do with reality. Therefore, we should not be complacent about this. We need to fight this in the press and at the state level,” the expert said.

He noted that the Russian economy is now going though very serious challenges, both external and internal. Naturally, the Russian government and oligarchs are trying to find sources of additional funding of their needs, he said. Aleksei Binetsky added that manipulations are populism and wrong understanding of the foreign policy of the Russian president. “Therefore, all these games are beneficial to someone, individuals or groups, but definitely are of no interest to the relations between our countries.
