SB. Belarus Segodnya columnist comments on meeting of Lukashenko and Pushilin: opponents are in impotent rage

While the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, is discussing with the Acting Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushilin, the restoration of territories after military operations, Kiev's ‘allies’ are thinking only about how to divide Ukraine – as stated by Andrei Mukovozchik, a columnist of the Belarus Segodnya Publishing House, in his talk with Alfa Radio

Earlier, Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Denis Pushilin. The Head of State offered to assist the DPR in restoring territories after the hostilities.

In this regard, radio presenter Polina Konoga recalled that, in October 2022, an international expert conference on the recovery, reconstruction and modernisation of Ukraine was held in Berlin. She stressed that, during their meeting, Aleksandr Lukashenko and Denis Pushilin discussed quite understandable things, but opponents again claim that Belarus ‘has been captured by the Kremlin’.

“What else can they write? They are really in impotent rage. Pushilin comes here, and it means he needs this. Lukashenko welcomes him, which means he sees some kind of perspective in this step. The President talks to him about specific projects, which means he sees not just a future, but the prospect of mutually beneficial co-operation. What do you [opponents] need? What are you doing here anyway? Parties agree to do something together, while you – in turn – just get angry, on the one hand, and fulfil an order, on the other hand. The order for this is coming from such persons as von der Leyen and other offended ‘liver sausages’ [as Chancellor Olaf Scholz was named by Ukraine’s ambassador to Berlin] that are already dividing Ukraine in Berlin," Mr. Mukovozchik noted.

As the newspaper columnist added, the European Union is now thinking not of Ukraine’s restoration, but about who will get which part of this country to manage.

“Actually, Poles have not demonstrated their intention yet. Hungarians and Slovaks have not either. Germans need black soil, and they are already taking it out of Ukraine – but they need more. The situation is reminiscent of 1918, when Germans recognised the Ukrainian People’s Republic solely in order to immediately move their troops to Donbass for coal, grain and, in the end, black soil,” Mr. Mukovozchik said.
