“I told him (Putin. - RT ) about the meeting with (head of Roskosmos Dmitry. - RT ) Rogozin and the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome. I’m telling the president: “This is your construction site, you constantly monitor it. So keep in mind that our minister flew there or will fly with Rogozin. And East, of course, must be completed promptly. ” And Dmitry Rogozin, being here, very much asked me to help us with specialists, ”BelTA quotes Lukashenko.
He noted that the advantage of Belarus is that large construction companies created since the Soviet era did not destroy the country.
“Now, if we agree on the East, we can transfer there two or three trusts that can work on a turn-key basis - housing, industrial facilities. Probably necessary.
