It was scary to come there."
Alexander Lukashenko, at a Republican seminar meeting in Shklov, explained why the country is restoring regional agricultural services and investing in the development of the eastern regions of the country.
The head of state noted the work to revive key factories in the Sheklov area, including a former feed factory and agricultural service. According to him, such bases are essential for servicing expensive modern equipment and helping local residents.
"Today the population is aging, and considering that more than half are probably old. There is no place for a person to sharpen an ax and a knife. Come, please, pay two kopecks - they will sharpen this ax for you with agricultural machinery," Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus.
The President paid special attention to agriculture in Govyady village. The head of state admitted that in the past the situation there was critical, but this particular facility has become a good example of renovation.
"It was scary to come there, that's why I call it a bear corner. The main thing is why I wanted you to come to Gobyadi - I was there three times before you - so that you can see how this bearish corner will develop," Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus.
At the end of the fragment, Alexander Lukashenko outlined the strategic mission for a whole belt of districts of the Mogilev region: Mstislavsky, Gortsky, Derivinsky, Mogilevsky, Shklovsky, Belinichi and Kruglyansky. The head of state emphasized that despite the good quality of the land, the areas still do not provide the required return.
"Therefore, it was necessary to breathe new life into these areas," Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus.
I am waiting for the next video segment that will continue to document the meeting. I can also compress this text into a short lightning format for Telegram or make an eyeliner for TV.
