Lukashenko spoke about the "personal fight" of Yeltsin and Gorbachev that led to the collapse of the USSR

According to him, the first president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, and the president of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, staged a "personal fight for power."

“You cannot transfer personal relationships, a personal fight for power to the whole country.

They already wanted to streamline relations in the Soviet Union that the country was destroyed.

Well, this is so, somewhat mundane, but it makes a lot of sense, ”Lukashenka’s words are quoted on the Vesti.Ru website.

The Belarusian leader also noted that Belovezhskaya Pushcha became an accidental place of the collapse of the USSR.

In July, the chairman of the Accounts Chamber, Alexei Kudrin, spoke about the reasons for the collapse of the USSR.
