“This is below my dignity”: Lukashenko did not apologize to Putin
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko denied information that he apologized to Russian President Vladimir Putin after a discussion about the price of gas at the EAEU summit, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
About it reports the Red Spring news agency.
“God bless you! I would consider it beneath my dignity to apologize for this. The Russian media biasedly covered those events in St. Petersburg,” he said.
Earlier, Lukashenko spoke out about the fact that by “deep integration” taking place within the EAEU, Moscow means the annexation of Belarus to Russia, which he will never agree to.
At today's Minsk press conference for Russian journalists, Lukashenko also spoke about hints from Russia that in exchange for oil he should destroy Belarus and bring it into Russia.
Let us recall that Lukashenko at a meeting of the Eurasian Economic Union in the Northern capital expressed dissatisfaction with different gas tariffs for Belarusian and Russian consumers. In response, Putin said that the cost of fuel for Belarus, as one of the main allies of the Russian Federation, is two times lower than for Germany, after which he advised his colleague to talk behind closed doors, without the media. Then the media reported that Lukashenko allegedly apologized to the Russian leader. On December 14, the Belarusian leader again accused the Russian authorities of not complying with previously reached agreements on gas prices.
