“There is still no solution, we have already seen a series of noisy statements emanating from that country, aimed mainly at internal politics. If there are steps from them, there will be a suitable answer. In any case, such decisions are primarily to affect and react to the Belarusian economy and its people, “he told reporters on Friday.
He named it and a possible answer to Belarus.
“It would not be possible for trucks to travel from that country, either through Lithuania or Poland. Apparently, this would be another major blow to the economy. I do not think this will be done, but if there is, there will be an adequate response “, – the Prime Minister named a possible response to the decisions of Belarus.
He said that some Lithuanian sectors would react differently to these decisions, but that would not be “a very significant and important blow for us,” he said.
The Prime Minister considered that such statements could influence Belarusians.
“The aim is to show that there is an enemy beyond the borders, that the neighbor is their greatest enemy, and in this way they are trying to hang pasta to the Belarusian public on the supposed enemy,” Skvernel said.
And he recalled the position previously expressed by Lithuania regarding Belarus: democratic elections must be held in this country.
According to the SNB, Lukashenko said on Thursday that Belarus was closing the border with the West and strengthening the protection of the state border with Ukraine, and said it would send “half the army” to strengthen the protection of the western borders.
Mr. Lukashenko added that he would strengthen the protection of the state of the Union with the help of the Russian authorities.
In Belarus there have been unprecedented protests for more than a month over the presidential elections on August 9, which Lukashenko has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and Western countries consider these elections to be rigged.
The European Union has previously approved plans to impose sanctions on those responsible for violence against protesters in Belarus. The US State Department has also announced that it is preparing to impose sanctions on Minsk and is consulting with the EU on this.
