“This is absolutely wrong at the root of the question ... The loan is not provided to President Lukashenko, it is provided to Belarus, our great ally, our brotherly country,” said Peskov.
Thus, he answered the question whether the Kremlin fears that in the situation with the new loan to Minsk, the Ukrainian scenario will repeat itself, and the funds will not be returned.
“It is important to note that in no way should this be interpreted as interference in internal affairs,” he added.
On September 14, talks between the presidents of Belarus and Russia, Alexander Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin, took place in Sochi.
At the beginning of the meeting, Putin announced that Russia would provide Belarus with a $ 1.5 billion loan.
