Alexander Lukashenko said that Russia needs to determine the format of the presence of border guards on the border between Belarus and Russia. This was reported by BelTA on June 1. "We can not be like Russians. They themselves do not understand what they want and what they do on the Belarusian-Russian border. Let be defined. Determine - we have no problem answering. We are ready to respond adequately at any time, "Lukashenka stressed.. The Belarusian president believes that if the Russians want to close the border, the Belarusian side will also enter border control in response. At present, the border between the two states is virtually non-existent: Belarusian border guards, when they receive information about illegal activities, can be nominated for the area, while the Russian side is guarded by state border guard units of the FSB of Russia.

At the same time, according to Lukashenka, the borders are a relic of the past. "They do not give much to communicate people, especially between Russians and Belarusians," the president said.. He added that he added this issue will be discussed at the June session of the Supreme State Council of the Union State, and that when resolving it, one should not rush. "Express newspaper" recalls that earlier Lukashenka accused Moscow of injustice after it restricted the import of milk and dairy products from Belarus.
