“One person from Belarus said that if there is an escalation from Russia, they will immediately stop supplying energy resources to Ukraine.
How should we respond to this?
Zelensky said.
His words are quoted by TASS.
He said that the trade turnover between Ukraine and Belarus is $6 billion, of which $1.5 billion is exported by Ukraine to Belarus and $4.5 billion by Belarus to Ukraine.
“If countries begin to restrict trade with one another, then who suffers from this?
In this case, just people will definitely suffer,” the Ukrainian leader summed up.
Thus, he commented on the corresponding statement of Lukashenka.
According to Zelensky, such actions should be addressed "if there is a desire to return to the Stone Age."
Earlier, Lukashenko said that his country recently saved Ukraine from an energy collapse to its own detriment.
