He emphasized the importance of cooperation between Belarus and Russia.

"We are one whole, our homeland stretches from Brest to Vladivostok, and it remains so. It's not by our fault that we are two separate states, but we find common ground, and we cooperate—cooperate quite well," Lukashenko noted.
