Lukashenko: Belarusian will never be part of Bratsk Russia

Belarus was not going to and is not going to be part of any state, even “fraternal Russia,” said Alexander Lukashenko, speaking in the National Assembly (parliament of Belarus). According to him, during negotiations on the development of integration between countries, the parties do not discuss the topic of political interaction, including the creation of a single parliament.

Lukashenko believes that Minsk and Moscow did not settle several fundamental issues, including gas and oil. “Even an elementary issue has not been resolved in dirty oil. But we failed GDP mainly due to oil problems, ”the Belarusian leader said .

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who today gives an annual press conference, recalled that "any integration is a partial reduction in sovereignty." According to him, this happened with Russia in the EurAsEC, and with European countries in the EU. “There is no need to be afraid, you need to make a courageous decision,” the prime minister said.

On Saturday, December 7, a meeting of Alexander Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin should take place in Sochi. The day before, on December 6, Medvedev will meet with the Belarusian colleague Sergei Rumas. The meeting attracted increased attention, because the chairman of the Belarusian Association "White Russia" Gennady Davydko announced the "programmatic, historical" speech of Lukashenko to the deputies of the National Council on December 5. It is assumed that the parties will discuss issues of bilateral relations, and above all, the “road map”, the development of allied relations, the Union State.
