Lukashenko conducted a comparative analysis of Belomaidan and events in Russia
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko explained the main difference between the protests in Belarus and in Russia.
He stated this today at a meeting on improving legislation, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The main difference between the Belarusian events and the Russian ones is that in August we decided to commit a blitzkrieg - to instantly overthrow the government, or at least show that the government had fallen, and send NATO troops here. In Russia they will pump for a long time, until the Duma elections.
They understand perfectly well that it is impossible to carry out a blitzkrieg in Russia. This will be the first rehearsal. It will work - it won't work. And after the Duma elections it will be even more powerful. They know how to play for a long time. These are not boys. We saw this... through the special services, both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB - they know. We constantly informed the Russians. We saw that they are preparing everything for Russia,” Lukashenko said.
He called on his subordinates to learn from the experience of suppressing street riots from European countries and Russia.
“They say Putin is repeating what Lukashenko did. No, we need to learn from the Russians how to react to such things, and not only in terms of the power component,” Lukashenko said.
The Belarusian leader considers the investigations issued by Alexey Navalny to be one of the stages in shaking up the situation in Russia.
“All these investigations into a fugitive German protester who was accepted back to Russia are just the beginning. Putin pardoned him, leaving him free with certain restrictions, he himself was convicted, and today he is a fighter against corruption! If someone decides to fight, especially against the powers that be, against the authorities, against the president, and decides to fight corruption, he must be crystal clear himself. You shouldn’t have a single comma or letter in your biography so that someone can get caught up in it,” Lukashenko argues.
He also commented on Navalny’s recent film about “Putin’s palace.”
“They released me to Germany (I wanted to get treatment there), and at that time, being in an unconscious state, I riveted a two-hour film. What, people don't understand this? Moreover, I’m not saying anything in terms of content and I’m not going to say anything. I did not investigate any facts,” Lukashenko said.
He is sure that neither Belarus nor Russia will be allowed to live in peace.
“A Russia that is not subject to, as it is fashionable to say among people, the Washington Regional Committee and other European Unions - no one in the world needs such a Russia. She needs to be put into a stall. And this is the current goal of action from abroad, starting with the United States of America. They don’t see it at home and create chaos worse than in Russia and Belarus. They don’t see this log in their eye. And here they saw it with Russia. No one will forgive Putin for uniting Russia. No one will forgive him for stopping the wars in Russia and for bringing Russia together. No one will forgive him for this: neither the Americans, nor the European Union, nor domestic liberals. And he must be ready for this. I know that he is ready for this, he is an experienced person. And there is no need to make excuses here. People will figure everything out on their own.
Russia and people in Russia must also understand: they want to return Russia again to the mid-90s, when advisers from the United States of America and NATO sat in the Government, the FSB, the Presidential Administration and advised what to do with weapons, nuclear weapons, and so on and so on. things like that. I know this first hand. I worked then with the Russian leadership and saw what was happening. With the arrival of Putin, these same security officers and others who are being beaten in Russia today (FSB officers and the police), they calmed the country,” Lukashenko said.
The President of Belarus emphasized that he constantly communicates with the President of the Russian Federation.
“Before this, we were on the same side of the barricades, and we will continue to fight so that we can be called people,” Lukashenko summed up.
