The Salisbury incident with the poisoning of ex-colonel GRU Sergey Skripal and further accusations against Moscow are connected with the fight on the world market of hydrocarbons. This was hinted at by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. He did not elaborate on this topic, but he suggested that the thinking people themselves should compare the facts and draw conclusions. "Commenting is not my job," he told journalists who attacked him with questions during his visit to Moldova. - It's unlikely that we know much and can argue. Look at things wider: the price of oil has risen? Grew! Next, I will not continue, think, "- pointed out Father. However, the Belarusian leader made it clear that the scandal with Skripal and its consequences are absolutely unprofitable for Minsk. "It is very important for Belarus and Moldova that oil prices go down, not upward," Sputnik radio quotes Lukashenko as saying.. Moldovan President Igor Dodon and his colleague fully agreed, saying that a good harvest for their countries "is more important than problems in the geopolitical space". By the way, as a gift, Lukashenka brought as a gift to Moldova five MTZ tractors and two ZIL vehicles. Together with Dodon, they personally tested the technique - sowed the field with corn. According to the UK, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia were assassinated in early March using the nerve agent "Novice". In a crime, London hastened to blame Moscow. Against the background of the scandal, about 20 countries supported the British and took part in an indicative action to expel Russian diplomats. The Moldovan government also announced three persons of the embassy of the Russian Federation as persona non grata.

Dodon action of the Cabinet publicly condemned.
