He expressed confidence that the sanctions of Western countries against Belarus were aimed at “not making part of the payments, declaring a default” and saying that Minsk “cannot pay”.
“But literate people will figure out why they cannot pay.
I don’t think that in this situation one should be afraid of a default, ”TASS quotes him.
Seliverstov, in his own words, does not think that this "would be a big problem."
“Those who want to work with us and receive payments from us will continue to receive them,” he said.
Earlier, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that, in his opinion, Western sanctions against the Belarusian side would increase.
