The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth fell apart again: Patrushev in Minsk - Bolton retired
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko held a meeting today with Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev.
This was reported by the official website of the Belarusian president, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Lukashenko noted that there is “no emergency” in Nikolai Patrushev’s visit to Minsk.
“His trip was planned for a long time, although some media outlets are engaged in conspiracy theories on this basis. The visit will be very useful for further progress in Belarusian-Russian relations.
There cannot be an emergency, because, despite a number of issues, even sensitive ones, God grant that other states have with each other the kind of relations that Belarus and Russia have today,” Lukashenko said.
Let us remember that “conspiracy theories” were associated with the recent visit to Minsk of US Presidential Adviser John Bolton, who met first with Lukashenko, and then in Warsaw with the secretaries of the security councils of Belarus, Ukraine and Poland.
The Ukrainian media started talking about the creation of a “new Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth” as a counterweight to Russia.
Coincidentally, it was today that US President Donald Trump announced Bolton’s resignation.
“I strongly disagree with many of his proposals, as do others in the Administration, and that is why I asked John to resign, which he tendered this morning,” Trump tweeted.
