Belarus’ President Alexander Lukashenko yesterday offered peaceful talks with Poland, and indicated that, while he would not expect much serious from Poland before their October 15 election campaign is over, they should not destroy the possibility of peaceful agreements before then.
Lukashenko said that Belarus, joined with the Russian Federation in the Union State, was ready to mend ties with its Western neighbors. He indicated that he was ready to converse with everyone, but especially Poland. He offered that Belarus had been “living at the expenses of the East” lately, with their increased collaboration with Russia and China: “But we must not forget about the high-tech West. They are nearby, they are our neighbors – the European Union. And we cannot lose relations with them. We are ready for this, but taking our own interests into account.”
