“It was sudden, however not stunning,” the top of state replied. “Surprising, as a result of from politicians of that caliber (they thought-about themselves a part of the pantheon of world leaders, did not they?) you’d nonetheless anticipate a point of consistency, seriousness, and substance. However, the admission by the European leaders that they got here to the negotiating desk with tongue in cheek was not stunning. Nothing new. They’re accustomed to mendacity; it’s their type.”
On this matter, Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled how, after the victory over Nazi Germany, the collective West persecuted some Nazis, whereas hiding others (those that purchased their lives with secrets and techniques) within the USA, Argentina, and Canada. One may additionally recall on this context how disarmament proceeded after the collapse of the USSR and in what proportions. “They’ve at all times lied to us,” the Belarusian chief said, including that there are quite a few examples of this.
“Again in 2015, we had been getting ready for the Minsk negotiations sincerely. We considered the West as a accountable accomplice. In any other case, what’s the level of coming into such high-level negotiations?” the president continued on the subject of the Normandy Format talks. “Certainly, we hoped that the agreements signed in Minsk would lay a stable basis for long-term stabilization. Everybody labored genuinely. Seventeen hours of grueling negotiations, with out sleep, with emotional disputes, however with a need to cease the bloodshed and restore peace.” On the identical time, as per their very own admissions, Angela Merkel and François Hollande, who on the time represented Germany and France, got here to lull the opposite occasion to the negotiations right into a false sense of safety, to purchase time to construct up energy, and to ply the Ukrainian fireplace with contemporary gasoline.
Subsequently, in Aleksandr Lukashenko’s view, the present reluctance of U.S. President Donald Trump to contain Europeans within the negotiations seems logical and justified. “Why ought to he interact with politicians whose fame is at rock-bottom? He wants each companions and opponents with whom he can communicate on equal phrases. And talking on equal phrases means participating with different leaders. These are the nations of the SCO and BRICS. A severe counterweight to the previous constructions is being shaped. This momentum can’t be stopped. New facilities of energy are gaining political weight. They should be reckoned with,” the top of state emphasised.
On this regard, the top of state drew consideration to the worldwide initiative expressed by President Xi Jinping on the SCO summit in China – governance primarily based on equality and justice. “Xi proposes sovereign equality, the primacy of worldwide legislation, multilateralism. That is exactly what is required to unravel the tangled knot of collected issues on the worldwide agenda,” Aleksandr Lukashenko careworn. “In his view, this may assist restore belief that was misplaced as a result of European Union’s adventurism. Given the circumstances which have emerged following the admissions of its leaders, such belief in EU nations now not exists. “I have no idea how one can conduct enterprise with them in precept,” the Belarusian chief added.
