Alexander Lukashenko: in near future Belarus will not change its policy aimed at forming union with Russia

In the near future Belarus will not change its policy aimed at strengthening union relations with Russia, even if another president is elected, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said on October 12 at a press conference for representatives of the Russian regional mass media. “We will pursue the same policy even if someone else from the present-day group of Belarus’ top officials is elected Head of State,” said Alexander Lukashenko. “It is highly unlikely that a representative of so-called opposition will come to power in Belarus, as they once governed the country and broke up the union,” the President added. “Unfortunately, some of these people, who are hostile towards Russia, enjoy considerable support in certain Russian political quarters,” said Alexander Lukashenko. “I often ask the Russian top officials: what more do you want? No doubt, Belarus has been and will always be your ally. Belarus is not ruled by billionaires who want to line their own pockets but by staunch supporters of the brotherhood union with Russia,” the Belarusian leader underlined.
