Lukashenko: Belarus, Russia stay united

Belarus and Russia have preserved their unity and are determined to strengthen it, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Amur Oblast on 12 April, BelTA has learned.

“The Far East is distant, but ours. We have one Fatherland, even though we live in two states. We, unlike some republics, have preserved this unity, and we are determined to strengthen it,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. 

He noted: answering the questions of the cosmodrome workers, the president of Russia shared his impressions of the day when the first human spaceflight took place. “We rejoiced back then, we saw how happy our parents and the entire nation were, and it felt good,” the president of Belarus said talking about that day. “It was a key element in raising patriots. It was a completely different life, not easier than now, but there was some kind of inspiration, unity,” the president said. 

Aleksandr Lukashenko supported Vladimir Putin's proposal to develop technological tourism at such facilities as the Vostochny Cosmodrome: “There is something to see here, be impressed with and then grow up as a patriot, believe in your country.”
