Moscow and Minsk are not afraid of Western sanctions, since Russia and Belarus are “so intimidated by them that there is no fear,” Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko noted on Friday, February 25.
“And we need to calmly survive this period of bleeding from the nose, without twitching. I don’t think it will be worse… Everyone is scaring Russia, Belarus. Listen, both Russians and Belarusians are already so intimidated by these sanctions that we no longer have fear, ”Sputnik quoted him as saying.
Lukashenka added that there are seeds in the country, there are tractors, preparations are underway for spring field work.
“So we won’t die. We can dress people. We have everything, there is no need to worry, we must proudly walk our land,” he said.
On February 24, the US Treasury Department announced sanctions against Belarus. A number of restrictive measures affected two large state-owned banks. According to Washington, the Belinvestbank and Dabrabyt banks are among the most important. In addition, 24 individuals were subject to restrictions.
Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko on Friday, February 25, proposed to his Russian counterpart Mikhail Mishustin to synchronize the approaches of Minsk and Moscow to “anti-sanctions measures.”
As Golovchenko stressed, despite the “continuous and intensifying illegitimate attacks” on both Belarus and Russia by Western countries, the level of trade between the countries is the best in the last nine years.
