Lukashenka Says Belarus Will Never Be Part Of RussiaBelarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka says his country will never be part of the Russian Federation (muscovite empire ).
Speaking to Russian journalists in Minsk on December 14, Lukashenka said that "sovereignty is sacred" for Belarus.
"If someone wants to break [Belarus] into regions and force us to become a subject of Russia, that will never happen," Lukashenka said.
Lukashenka accused Moscow of attempting "to incorporate" Belarus into Russia using oil and gas leverage.
"I understand the hints [by Moscow] saying, 'OK, take our oil but for that destroy your statehood and become part of Russia'... It is useless to blackmail Belarus, to bend it, [to choke us]," Lukashenka said.
I always hated the conflict that was either always on the top of the issue, or just simmering beneath the surface here.
If these people just unified, they'd be very strong. But we have too many people, carrying too many old rivalries & hatreds with them.
Many peoples - such as Ukraine and Belarus - have no desire to be absorbed by the Russian Federation.
Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka says his country will never be part of the Russian Federation (muscovite empire ).
The main agreement on resolving the important aspects related to Russian and Belarusian integration within the framework of the Union State has been reached. Such comment was made by the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko at the Belarus-Russia Forum of Regions.
According to the president, his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and himself «did not rest, but worked hard on these issues.»
There are a number of specific issues affecting the interests of economic entities and citizens of our countries. It is necessary to solve them shortly, noted Alexander Lukashenko.
Belarusian president did not disclose any details about the consensus reached, promising to tell more «a little later.»
Earlier News.ru wrote that Moscow and Minsk agreed on the main terms of the integration processes development.

Of course, who would want to even remotely risk losing their identity as a sovereign people.
But unification would not be totally out of the question. The real problem remains in how it is to be achieved.
Lukashenka refused to attend WWII ceremonies in Poland because the Poles didn't invite Putin.
He really looks like a Putin puppet when he does **** like this.
The Union Treaty has lain dormant for decades. The only reason Putin is reviving it now is because it would afford him a way around the Russian Constitution not permitting him a third consecutive term as RF president.
A formal union with Belarus would require that the Russian Constitution be re-written, thus term limits could legally be removed.
