Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, at a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, said Western attempts to pressure economic sanctions had failed, but that they were trying to exert pressure militarily.
“To replace the failed attempts of economic blockade today, and the economic blockade could not succeed, they just decided to take us in such a rush. If they had thought seriously, they would not have done so, because the economy is, in principle, self-sufficient. It did not work out economically, they began to deliberately exert military pressure – to build up NATO forces and assets near the borders of Belarus and Russia,” Lukashenko stressed.
Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with the President of Belarus, spoke about the successful work of Russia and Belarus in various fields.
Furthermore, Lukashenko expressed confidence that the economies of both countries will be able to withstand the onslaught of sanctions.
He also said that during the negotiations on the eve of the meeting of the Supreme State Council with Russian President Vladimir Putin, decisions were made on all topical issues.
