What, according to Lukashenka, the KGB told him
Earlier on the same day, November 27, the Belarusian Internet publication “Belta” reported that Lukashenko, during a meeting with the staff of the 6th city clinical hospital of Minsk, “voiced excerpts from the data of the special services, which describe the attitude of Western politicians to the events in Belarus and their plans for the country”.
According to the newspaper, the KGB reported to Lukashenko that during a conversation between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Kuleby and his German counterpart Mas, the following phrase sounded: “We are losing our opportunities without taking decisive measures. The European Union should impose serious sanctions against Belarus in order to paralyze the activities of the state , business and production”.
Lukashenka commented on this “message of the special services” as follows: “What do they want? Even Russians have always taken offense at me:” Why do you support Ukrainians? ” But what cynicism: we are late, we must quickly choke Belarus”.
On November 16, Ukrainian News reported that after the EU introduced sanctions against Alexander Lukashenko, Ukraine is studying the details of this decision and agreeing on its own domestic procedures on this issue.
