This was stated by the press secretary of the Belarusian leader Natalia Eismont.
“You know, the issue of independence was defined in our country long ago, and it is not even discussed. There were no meetings on this topic, it’s all the fruit of someone’s wild imagination, ”she reports RIA Novosti.
It is noted that earlier, some media, citing a source, said that Lukashenko held a closed meeting with high-ranking officials, during which they discussed the issue of the independence of Belarus "conditions of pressure from the Russian side."
In early December, a working group on topical issues of Belarusian-Russian cooperation was set up in the government of Belarus.
December 14, Lukashenko called nonsense statements that Russia "feeds" Belarus.
