Alyaksandr Lukashenka's interview for the pro-Kremlin newspaper turned into a strange mixture of courtship and threats directed at the Kremlin. The journalists asked him mainly about the prospects of the union state, or the union of Belarus and Russia.
Traditionally, Lukashenka noted that the foundation of the union state must first be built - the economy. For the Belarusian authorities, integration with Russia is always an opportunity to obtain additional preferences on the Russian market and discounts on energy resources. As you can see, the Kremlin has other ideas and wants to start with the political integration of the two states.
However, the Belarusian dictator then unexpectedly and in his own style moved on to the topic of his country's sovereignty. First of all, he referred to the Union state as a traditional "common homeland: from Brest to Vladivostok," to which Belarus had supposedly been accustomed for centuries.
However, he also recalled that "it happened, without our fault" that Belarus and "the great Russia" are two sovereign countries. He emphasized that he did not like the talk about empire and satellites and about joining Russia.
Then Lukashenka made a long speech about how "The Belarusians are the most loyal and reliable nation for the Russians". However, he returned to the subject of the possible absorption of Belarus by Russia.
However, he assured that in talks with Vladimir Putin "such an issue has never come up". He added, however, that there are people in high circles in Russia whose "fingers are itching" and such thinking should be rejected. He also explained, using Ukraine as an example, why it is very disadvantageous to absorb one country before another.
He said that someone (presumably the West) will incite the Ukrainians to do this, for example by supplying them with explosives. He emphasized that today it is different from the Middle Ages, when territories were occupied and the population simply paid taxes to the new ruler. He suggested that the idea of conquering Ukraine was stupid because no thought had been given to what would happen next.
