Online: ‘Lukashenka’s Big Talk’

Онлайн: "Вялікая размова з Лукашэнкам"
12:30 Lukashenka: “We have lost 15 million dollars due to unequal conditions in the Customs Union.” 12:20 The way Russia is conducing oil and gas negotiations with Belarus is mockery, Lukashenka thinks. 12:01 "We can do without Russian oil. It will be difficult. Ramanchuk may say that it is unprofitable but you cannot estimate freedom and indolence this way. If independence and Russian or Iranian oil are in the balance – this is incomparable.” 11:51 “You have the right to replace me if I cannot handle my job,” Lukashenka said. 11:45 Lukashenka explains when the freeloader’s tax may be abolished. When he makes sure that it is ‘an anachronism’. 10:34 "We may be checking entrepreneurs too often. I am not sure.” 10:29 "This is the country of discounts. We cannot do more.” 10:29 "It is necessary to forget about discounts and getting things for free. We live in market economy.” 10:28 "Speaking about ice palaces, I want my children (and there are millions of them all over the country) to play hockey and learn to skate.” 10:19 Lukashenka is promising “$500 for everyone” again.

Belarusians’ questions are being shown: “When will palaces stop being built?”, “Did you ever pilot an airplane? ”, “”When will teachers, doctors and kindergartners’ salaries be increased?”, “Abolish the freeloaders’ tax”, “How will our relations with Russia be developing?”.

Lukashenka is quoting the Internet: “They are writing that Lukashenka has not invited everyone. There is no fifth column here but there are people who have opposition views.”
