There is no time for rudeness anymore. Lukashenko calls Putin and begs him to save
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called Russian President Vladimir Putin today. This was reported on the official website of the Kremlin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Alexander Lukashenko informed about the situation in Belarus that developed after the presidential elections. Both sides expressed confidence that all the problems that have arisen will be resolved soon. The main thing is that these problems are not taken advantage of by destructive forces seeking to damage the mutually beneficial cooperation of the two countries within the Union State,” the message says.
A positive assessment was given to the return to Russia of 32 citizens previously detained in Belarus, “the attitude towards strengthening allied relations was confirmed, which fully meets the fundamental interests of the fraternal peoples of Russia and Belarus.”
Before calling Moscow, Lukashenko told his subordinates what he was going to talk about with his Russian colleague.
“I need to contact Putin, the President of Russia, so that I can talk to him now. Because this is a threat not only to Belarus, and you know, some Russians I see there are too smart, they start shouting, they say, Belarus, this way, not that way. I want to say that the defense of Belarus today is no less than the defense of our entire space as a union state, and an example to others. If the Belarusians cannot stand it, this wave will roll there. That’s why they clung to us so much,” Lukashenko said.
He believes that a “color revolution with elements of external intervention” is taking place in Belarus.
“We see what is happening. We don’t need to be lulled to sleep by peaceful actions and demonstrations. We see what's going on underneath. We see this very well. And then, we read the manuals of the color revolutions. Moreover, elements of external intervention have already appeared in the color revolution manuals. That is, what I said is that, in fact, according to the scenario, aggression against Belarus is unfolding,” Lukashenko said.
He denies that he owns real estate in Russia, which he would use if he were removed from power and fled the country.
“These people who roam the streets, most of them don’t understand this. Those who coordinate and direct understand this, and, you see, sometimes they work professionally, staged shots, fakes, it turns out that they have already found some kind of home in Moscow. Now I want to say publicly: take it away. Once you find it, take it. You see, I have no property in Belarus, but these people are starting fakes. It turns out that I already left the country the day before yesterday, it turns out that I either died or got sick. What is this all spinning for? In order to create a mean mood among the people, it will not work. We must not allow this,” Lukashenko said.
The website of the Belarusian president does not mention who initiated the call, and does not disclose the content of the conversation.
