According to the agency, Lukashenko said this at a meeting with the team of the Svetlogorsk Central Control Commission.
According to the head of state, the Russian leadership “hints at Belarus joining in exchange for flat energy prices,” Belarus reports Sputnik.
As Lukashenko emphasized, the two nations will never want to take such a path.
“Remember: your first president you once elected will never be the last. After me, think about how to live, ”Lukashenko said.
He noted that when he lives, but will not be president, he will "always fight" so that Belarus "remains sovereign and independent."
The president also indicated that he would never go for the “absorption of Belarus” and its incorporation.
On February 12, Bloomberg, citing sources, wrote that Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly tried to convince Lukashenko to create a "superpower."
As the Kremlin later emphasized, these reports are not true.
In March 2019, Lukashenko announced that the Russian side had no intention of “absorbing” Belarus.
