On Monday, December 19, Vladimir Putin arrived in Minsk. The heads of Russia and Belarus discussed the construction of the Union State, trade and prices of our gas for the republic next year. Moreover, the latter was the most important – we have been working in the union for 25 years and the cost of resources must be determined before January 1.

WE WILL CONSIDER, WE AGREE

– We discussed the price parameters in the energy sector. Now we have had a face-to-face conversation with Alexander Grigoryevich – we will assume that all the main parameters, including price-sensitive ones in the energy sector, have been agreed, Putin said in a very veiled manner about the results. of negotiations with Lukashenka.

– We have set our price, it is profitable for us, – added the President of Belarus with no less vagueness.

The Russian leader recalled that 60% of the planned integration measures had been completed. These are the same decisions that make the State of the Union a reality. Accounting has been unified, currency control has been improved… At the same time, one of the main programs has not yet been launched – the single market for gas. Then Belarus would buy resources at our domestic prices.

During the year, trade between countries increased by 10%. Russia has remained the largest investor in the Belarusian economy: $4 billion has been invested.

THANKS FOR THE ROCKETS

Well, the friendship continues between the military. Lukashenka appreciated the S-400 and Iskander complexes.

– Joint military planning is underway, the Russian-Belarusian regional grouping of troops is operating. On the territory of Belarus, measures are being taken to coordinate the combat formations and military units of our countries. The unified air defense system is on combat duty, – listed Vladimir Vladimirovich.

At the same time, not a word was said about the participation of the Belarusian army in the special operation.

In response, Alexander Lukashenko said that he could help Russia with its Soviet legacy.

– Our merit is that we have maintained the production that we inherited from the Soviet Union. When our Western partners left, it turned out that we were in demand from huge Russia. This is our common, which we created recently, – said the Belarusian leader.

He specified that 60% of the republic’s production is destined for the domestic market and 40% for export.

IF YOU HAVE TO WAIT

The journalists asked the politicians what they think about the conspiracy theory that Moscow wants to gobble up Belarus.

“Russia has no interest in absorbing anyone, there is simply no expediency in this,” Putin declared immediately.

– The issue is not absorption, but the issue of coordinating economic policy, as is done in many other integration associations. Everything else is superficial, meaningless, ”he added.

Lukashenka first supported the Russian leader …

– Talking about the fact that someone absorbs someone… The question arises: why? Russia has always met us halfway, today there is not a single issue that has not been resolved.

…and then joked about his political role.

– You know, we are both “co-aggressors”, the most “harmful”, “toxic” people on this planet. We have only one dispute: who is more? Vladimir Vladimirovich says that I. I’m starting to think he is. Well, we decided together, in the same way. That is all.

COULD NOT CALL

The conversation turned to the final of the soccer world championship.

– I watched the second half from the moment the score was already 2:2, I watched overtime. And then, of course, I could not resist calling the president (of Argentina – Ed.), to congratulate him, – Putin admitted.

And at the end he thanked the players from both countries for the “brilliant match”.
