Belarusian President

Aleksandr Lukashenko

gave

Russian President

Vladimir Putin a

tractor

for his

70th birthday

, which occurs today.

Lukashenko himself said this to journalists who were waiting for him in St. Petersburg for an informal summit of

the Community of Independent States

, the international organization to which 9 of the 15 former Soviet republics refer, according to reports from the Belarusian state agency

Belta

.

In power since 1994

and accused of serious human rights violations, Lukashenko officially won the Belarusian presidential elections in August 2020 with 80% of the vote, but the result is considered by many observers to be the result of massive

electoral fraud

and in the following months in Belarus there have been

mass rotests, brutally repressed.

To a reporter who asked him which tractor it was, he replied: “

The one I use, a

Belarus

tractor .

The best, handmade "

.

With all the attachments? ". There are a million of them, you know. What I'm going to offer him has the attachment for the seeder. We'll sow wheat, maybe something else. It's multifunctional. We'll grow food, so Duda and Morawiecki (president respectively and Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland), so

Europe will not go hungry and not steal bread from Ukraine

, but take it to poor countries ".

Finally, he stressed that he had reached the summit aboard a Russian

Aurus

car .
