13:20 Lukashenka: Trade between Belarus and EU is 10% bigger than between Belarus and Russia

“We have managed to organize cooperation with the West. But if you think it is my fault, I would not agree. You all know what the West wants from us." If you decided to seize us by the scruff of the neck like a cat – no, thanks. We informed the West that we wanted to organize cooperation, but it happened before problems with Russia appeared.

People were urging us to start cooperating with the West. Our trade with EU is 10% bigger than our trade with Russia now”, - claimed Alyaksandr Lukashenka at his press conference with Belarusian mass media.
