Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko on the subject of celebrating the end of World War II “laughs” at Russian President Vladimir Putin, UNIAN correspondent in Russia, believes Roman Tsymbalyuk.
The Russian leadership does not like the behavior of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko in relation to Victory Day. Such opinion, Ukrainian journalist, correspondent of the UNIAN agency in the Russian Federation, Roman Tsymbalyuk expressed “Facts” in an interview that was recorded on May 7.
“Sparks are running. For example, official releases of a phone conversation with Lukashenko and [президента России Владимира] Putin, May 5, are surprisingly different. Prior to this, information had been leaked to the media that the Russian side expressed its discontent that Lukashenko, after Putin, had not canceled the parade. The press service of the President of Belarus said he was telling Putin how the parade will take place in Minsk, and on the Kremlin website they have refuted everything, saying that this issue was not discussed at all, “he said.
According to the journalist, “Lukashenko’s behavior is very annoying for the Kremlin.”
“Listen, what’s going on? Yes, Lukashenko is just laughing at Putin! He says he can’t cancel the parade:” They’ll say they were afraid of the coronavirus. “So Putin was scared. Lukashenko thinks it’s ridiculous to contact people through video. “Putin is ridiculous,” Tsymbalyuk explained.
He noted that Moscow was in no rush to respond to Minsk’s invitation to the meeting of the heads of the countries participating in the Eurasian Economic Union in late May, while Lukashenko promised to do everything possible so that the guests “do not contract the coronavirus. “
“The most important thing is that Lukashenko meets with people. He holds some meetings in his office, visits factories and factories, and there is not a single person in the mask. It is clear that such challenging behavior is very outraged,” said Tsimbaluk.
