Lukashenko declared Belarus readiness to negotiate with European countries

He said this after talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

“What we need to do as a reliable partner, we will always do.

If Europe wants these normal relations, please, we are ready to come to an agreement tomorrow, ”Lukashenka said.

The Belarusian leader noted that Minsk will ask Russia for support, "if it is needed."

Lukashenko also spoke about the claims of the European Union on the situation with migrants.

He noted that the EU against Belarus "every day introduces more and more new sanctions." 

“And should I, or should the Belarusian people protect them at the border?

No, ”said the President of Belarus.

In turn, the Russian president said that the West should directly contact Minsk, not Moscow, on the issue of the crisis with migrants on the borders of Belarus with Poland and Lithuania.
