“Why do I say“ our Kaliningraders? ” I often speak to Yeltsin (spoke. - RT) and current President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin when we discuss some problems: Kaliningrad is our region, we were responsible for it and we are responsible, first of all, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Lukashenko, the Russian president is not against this.
The leader of Belarus said that back in the days of the USSR "there was a lot of talk about joining the Kaliningrad region to Belarus."
Lukashenko noted that the Belarusian side “was actually responsible for many issues in Kaliningrad because we were the closest.” He added that such an approach and a sense of responsibility remained now.
Earlier, Lukashenko condemned Poland for not inviting Putin to commemorate events on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.
