“I gave the best years of my life, like many of you, to the construction of this country. How could, how could, and built. As it turned out, it’s no worse than others, ”said Lukashenko during a speech at the Solemn Meeting on Independence Day.

According to him, the main thing is that the people managed to avoid wars and live in a safe, calm country.

“People from other countries envy us: our Russian brothers, Ukrainians. And we live and don’t understand how we got it, ”BelTA quotes the president.

In addition, Lukashenko said that Belarus is not going to "run away" from Russia, but wants to improve current relations.
