Alexander Lukashenko claims that he “does not hold on to power” in Belarus and is ready to “calmly transfer” it to a new generation. The Belarusian agency BelTA writes about this with reference to Lukashenko’s statement in the church on Christmas Day on January 7.
“I don’t hold on to power. I will do everything to quietly and calmly transfer this power to a new generation. Because I hope to live under the new government, and so do you. My children will live. <…> I want to see how they will live. That's my goal. Therefore, it is my great advantage that I am not trying to somehow retain power by force,” he said.

According to him, generational change “is a painful process” and the country faces a “serious” exam to determine “a normal government and a normal president.” Lukashenko did not specify when this time will come. He claims that he has no plans to leave his post anytime soon.
“I’m not talking about running away somewhere tomorrow. As long as I have health, I will be with you. I will work in any capacity to preserve what we have created with our own hands,” he said.
Lukashenko added that “the current generation” has made Belarus “sovereign and independent” for the first time in history. According to him, Belarusians should not pay attention to the fact that the government is accused of dictatorship.

“Listen, a dictatorship like the one in Belarus is better than a democracy like the one in Ukraine. We need to stick it out. Under no circumstances should you shy away,” he said .
Lukashenko believes that external opponents are trying to “drag” Belarus into war games. According to him, “this is a difficult situation” and the country may “not withstand the war as a state.” In particular, he drew attention to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who allegedly hinted that Belarus would soon “be like Ukraine.”
