Belarus is very upset by the restrictions imposed by the West on Russia. Since the losses of the Russian economy are implicitly reflected in the Belarusian. This was recognized by the president of the republic Alexander Lukashenko. "Look, we just started talking about sanctions, about a new wave that the Americans are supposedly willing to bring against Russia - the Russian ruble collapsed. We that, well from this? We from the last big collapse of the Russian ruble lost about $ 3 billion only on exchange rate differences, "said Batka on the air of the TV channel" Belarus 1 ". At the same time, he rejected proposals to take advantage of Russia's weakness in its interests. In his opinion, it is short-sighted - to put pressure on Moscow now. "We do not gain anything here," Lukashenko said.. - To incline Russia, because it has weakened or has a difficult situation, - there is no this and it will never be. I am an experienced politician to think about these topics. This is complete idiocy, "the head of Belarus underlined..

He called the Belarusians and Russians "native people who grew up from one root," and Russia - the guardian angel of Belarus, since it is the largest market for the republic. "When Russia is good, Russia can buy enough of our goods. And if necessary, and help us. What she did with appropriate financial support, "- said Father. Lukashenka came to Putin in Sochi on August 22. As a gift to his Russian counterpart, he brought the icon of the Guardian Angel, writes "360".
