Lukashenko once again declared his devotion to Russia - even "in these difficult days" Lukashenko promised that Belarus "will not betray" Russia, despite the war in Ukraine and the difficulties associated with it. He stated this at a meeting with the head of Altai Andrei Turchek on October 29. "This is our policy. You can be sure of that. Even in these difficult times, when a special military operation is launched, I said unequivocally that we are not traitors, we will never betray our brothers. And no matter how difficult and difficult it will be, we will always be there," Lukashenko said. He also spoke again about the Soviet practice, when Belarus was responsible for supplying goods to several regions of Russia. "Leningrad, the Kaliningrad region, the Moscow region during the Soviet period, not to mention the Bryansk, Smolensk and Pskov regions - this was our area of responsibility. We are ready to return to it and take the burden of cooperation more seriously," said the politician. Let us recall that on October 27, at a meeting with the governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Baglob, Lukashenko already proposed to return to the Soviet practice, in which Belarus was responsible for the supply of goods to the Leningrad, Kaliningrad and Moscow regions. So he also promised to help neighboring Russian regions with fuel, other issues and security. And before that, on October 2, Lukashenko again promised that Belarus would remain loyal to Russia, despite possible differences in the assessment of the war in Ukraine, and called Belarus and Russia "a common homeland from Brest to Vladivostok."
