Quote from Lukashenko: “Europe, if it has hushed (I am not talking about those across the ocean [i.e., Americans – ed.]), let them think. I have already told them three times that their future was with us. Together with Russia, where there is everything they need. And they have stuff we can buy from them. What else do they need? You just need to make responsible decisions. If they don’t want to, let them not bother, then.”

Details: In turn, Putin, commenting on Lukashenko’s words, called on the West to respect Russia. “Treat us (the Russian Federation) with respect,” Putin said.
