Immediately after the meeting, Alexander Lukashenko talked to the reporters. It turned out to be a conversation about the most acute and urgent topics. The reporters asked the President about the details of the decisions taken at the meeting. The head of state also answered the question, which in recent times has been actively promoted in the media, whether Belarus recognizes the DNR and LNR. He also explained his viewpoint as to why Ukraine should negotiate with Russia. Belarus is closely monitoring the situation, it is ready for any development, but at the same time, nothing extraordinary has happened. The artificial panic is deliberately created by our opponents, and it is clear why. We are living in an ordinary rhythm. We have a referendum ahead of us, and other planned events will take place as scheduled.
