He stated this at the festival "Kupalye" in the Mogilev region.

“My heart is completely and irrevocably given to this earth and these people. To all Belarusians. Our wise and strong people. A people who over the centuries of its history experienced many troubles and misfortunes, but never knelt before anyone. A people who knows the value of words and deeds. Who has suffered the right to live in his own country and independently choose and determine his future, ”BelTA quotes Lukashenko.

He called on the citizens of the country “to continue building Belarus together as a just, safe and strong country.”

“Now it is very relevant when the powers that be try to redo the world, break the foundations, impose their way of thinking and their way of life on the weaker,” Lukashenko added.

Earlier, the Belarusian leader at a meeting with representatives of major media outlets said that the sovereignty and independence of Belarus are not for sale.
