“You see what is going on around you. But I'm sorry, you don't know everything yet. I'll tell you the most important, without precision. We'll give you a brief account of all these issues soon. present in the West everyone wants and our Belarusian refugees are in the avant-garde (as compared to Belarus) of Russia's defeat in the war against Ukraine," noted the head of state.
Aleksander Lukashenka cited the negotiations between refugees and individuals in the West: “Poland is entitled to the western lands of Belarus. And in the event of Russia's defeat, Belarus will increase at the expense of the western lands of Russia."
“Read, we will be cut off something from the Smolensk, Brian, possibly Pskov. And the western part of Belarus we should give back (before Minsk, as you know, was the border) Poland. These are the fresh "дэмакратычныя ўлады вядуць перамовы" ("democratic authorities negotiate" – a crowd from the Belarusian language, PZ) in the West," explained the head of state. “Can any of you agree? possibly individual can, but I don't – by no means. We will fight for our lands to the end. Especially since we're not causing any trouble. We don't owe anyone anything. We do not complain to Vilnius, nor to Belarus, nor to Russian or Ukrainian lands. What we've historically received is enough. These are our Belarusian lands.”

If we are united and monolithic, the nation will be united and monolithic. Especially due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of Belarusians understood what could have happened and what could not have been allowed. Therefore, I constantly press the authorities: do not relax – due to the fact that we will lose the country. ‘
“If individual thinks that it will be better if they divide us and accept us in parts, they are wrong. If only it were so good in the 1920s and 1930s (last century, erstwhile part of Belarus was part of Poland). – BELTA's remark), we would not be fighting for our independence," said Aleksander Lukashenko. “Let us do all we can to make peace in this land. And he will only be then... Like I said, give me the economy. And you (Belkoopsoyuz – BELTA) – the largest part of our economy – are called to service 30% of the population. Draw conclusions. Hence the tough approach to many issues, from education, healthcare to trade"
