Łukašenka says he talked to Western officials yesterday
October 19, Pozirk. Alaksandar Łukašenka has claimed that he held “interesting negotiations” with Western officials yesterday but did not specify which states they represented.
Belarus is at the center of everyone’s attention in the run-up to the 2025 presidential campaign, he told participants at an agricultural fair in the Minsk region, Pul Pervogo, his press office’s unofficial Telegram channel, reported.
“While talking to them [Western representatives], I realized how closely they are watching us, how diligently they are looking for and studying our mistakes and our successes,” Łukašenka said. “They speak openly and honestly when the media are not present.”
“You know, the richest countries were represented. They envy us because we know how to work, live and celebrate. They envy us for the fact that we – a small country by all standards – have found our way and followed it with dignity,” he added.
Łukašenka’s statement follows yesterday’s reports about talks at the Belarusian foreign ministry involving Kevin Doyle from the US Department of State and US Chargé d’Affaires Peter Kaufman.
Very few of the Western countries, such as Hungary, maintain public contact with the authorities in Minsk following the crackdown on participants of 2020 postelection protests and support of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
