Lukashenko describes results of single voting day in Russia as great success

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on such a serious stage of the electoral cycle - the single voting day that was held in many regions. The results are clear; there's no need to analyze them. They are, probably, best ever. All the candidates that you nominated to the post of governor were supported by the people. This is a great success," the Belarusian leader said.
