Belarus and Russia have never had such dangerous moments in relations with the West before, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told the media after the talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Amur Oblast on 12 April, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said that he and Vladimir Putin discussed in detail the current issues on bilateral agenda, including political, diplomatic, economic and, of course, military and defense matters.

“We have never had such dangerous and difficult moments in our relations with the West,” said the head of state.

“Discussing the problem that everyone is talking about today, I emphasized this point during the talks with the Russian president. This statement of mine was not made out of nowhere. If only Russia had delayed its military operation just a little bit, they would have launched, according to them, a crushing blow on Russia's territory - on neighboring regions. We are now clearly convinced that this was possible. So if someone doubts the rightness of the decision, imagine what we could have seen just half a month or a month later,” said the Belarusian leader.
