Lukashenka: initiators of sanctions against Russia and Belarus have already "shot themselves in the head"

“No one deals with the economy there, no one thinks.

Take, for example, (I'm not taking Poland, although you can), Lithuania, Latvia.

Well, they're not only shooting themselves in the foot, they've already shot themselves in the head.

You think before imposing any sanctions,” Lukashenka said, his words are quoted by the BelTA news agency.

He noted that the initiators of the sanctions damage the economies of their countries and admitted that in a year they could begin to collapse.

Earlier, the head of the Russian state, Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko in Sochi, said that the Russian economy withstands the sanctions strike with dignity, as evidenced by the main macroeconomic indicators, he said.
