Lukashenko urged not to share the victory

The victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War should work to unite states and peoples. This was stated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at an informal meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the CIS participants.

“We often say that Victory is one and indivisible. We really have nothing to share here. We are not accountants, and there is nothing here to calculate the specific gravity of the level of this or that participation in this war. It was not the Russian, not the Belarusian, not the Kazakh, not the Kyrgyz, not the Uzbek, not the Tajik who won - the Soviet people won then, the great Soviet people brought us the Great Victory,” said the Belarusian leader. Alexander Lukashenko considers this very relevant at the present time. “This should work to unite our states and our peoples,” he emphasized.

The head of the Belarusian state noted that there are problems in this regard. “To be absolutely sincere, we turned out to be bad heirs for those war veterans who are still alive, and especially for those 30 million who did not return from the war,” the President noted. “We didn’t save the country we defended.” Moreover, there is nothing to hide, there were enough conflicts in the post-Soviet space, and today there is a conflict situation in our brotherly Ukraine, and the sooner we solve this problem, the better it will be for the current generation.”

In Belarus, celebrations on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Victory are held with great responsibility, and they are almost identical to the celebrations held in Russia, Alexander Lukashenko emphasized. “I am convinced that the ideals of brotherhood and cohesion should be the basis of the ideological content of all festive events,” said the leader of Belarus.
