“Where is Kolya going?” – what Lukashenko is bargaining with the Kremlin about
The Kremlin continues to bargain with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on the creation of a unified state, but has not yet offered him a decent price.
The editor-in-chief of the liberal radio station Echo of Moscow, Alexey Venediktov, stated this in an interview with Ukrainian propagandist Dmitry Gordon, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They don’t bend the president, they buy the president, they bargain with him. Well, sometimes they intimidate,” Venediktov said.
He said that a year and a half ago in Shanghai, Lukashenko suggested that Putin alternate between being president and vice-president of the Union State.
“I thought it was a joke until one of the members of the Belarusian delegation told me: “Well, everyone knows this. What's unfair here? And they give him some kind of parliamentary post.”
It's a matter of price. In the Kremlin there is a party of traders, not bloody murderers. The point is not in Lukashenko, but in what will be offered. He has a product. He listens carefully, but give him a price. Chairman of Parliament is a humiliation. And Kolya? Where’s Kolya, my son?” - said Venediktov.
