– Belarus will not protect the interests of Poland and the Baltic countries with a loop around his neck – said Belarus president Aleksander Łukashenko in an interview with Time magazine. At the same time, he rejected the accusation that his country was using illegal migration as a tool of pressure to the West. – I don't want our Poles, the Slavs to suffer. They are not alien to us – he emphasized.
According to the Belarusian dictator The European Union has a migration policy that does not include an article about “killing and throwing back”. – We have every case documented. The barbed wire stretched along the border kills wild animals. This is the Białowieża Forest, an animal migration trail. They kill them. Why are you silent? They violate all standards and rules. Even in the Soviet times, when I served as a guard on this border, we never installed alarms on the trails that the animals passed through. Animals have always been treated with respect – he said.
According to Łukaszenka, illegal migration is sponsored in Poland. “Otherwise, how will the migrants go to Germany?” It is impossible to drive the whole country unnoticed. This is impossible. Especially in the current situation – said Lukashenko. – I warned against this Poles, Lithuanians and Latvians. Why? Because they refused to cooperate with us in migration policy. They refused and imposed sanctions on us He added.
Lukashenko about the future as the president
Lukashenko was also asked about his political future. The dictator has been governing Belarus since 1994 – I hope my successor will continue the country's constant development – he said. At the same time, he denied that his youngest son, Mikołaj, was prepared to take over the office after him.
The dictator assumes that the next president of Belarus can conduct a slightly different policy. – I would just like them not to destroy everything, but they would act like me – supporting the strong shoulders, building on what already exists, systematically developing the country without this destructive, revolutionary coup. That's what I want. If they convince society that it needs a different direction, good, let it be He said.
Lukashenko He admitted that “he never plans anything”, asked about the start in the next presidential election. He pointed out that despite the advanced age, he still feels good and recalled Donald Trump. “The only thing I thought, but I never said that is that Trump is almost 80 years old and still looks decent,” he said.
