Belarus will not join Russia in the near future, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko stated this during his speech in the Federation Council today, APA's Moscow correspondent reports.
"When will Russia join Belarus, or vice versa, when will Belarus join Russia? It is unlikely that this will happen in the near future. If we try to break down this open door in this regard, we will destroy everything we have done so far. We must move forward calmly, step by step, and implement what we are doing now," Lukashenko noted.
