The bulk of attacks from outside the Eurasian Economic Union is aimed primarily at Russia, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the summit of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on 11 December, BelTA informs.

“We all see that the time is not easy. It is difficult, first of all, for our close friends and brothers - the Russian Federation. You see that the cutting point of attacks from outside is directed at Russia, we feel this very well in Belarus,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

The president wished his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin patience during these difficult times. “As our honorary chairman [Nursultan Nazarbayev] said, Russia is the backbone of our integration. Therefore, we wish you all the patience in the world. You should know that we have always supported Russia and we will always be by its side, because integration in the post-Soviet space is impossible without it,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
