President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with the Chairman of the Board Eurasian Economic Commission Mikhail Myasnikovich announced the ongoing economic war. BelTA informs about it.
Lukashenko said that the global economy collapsed in 2020, and the way out of this situation will be very difficult.
“Moreover, a confrontation has begun, in fact, an open economic war is underway with the transition to not just the diplomatic elite in the media, but already a hot smell,” the Belarusian leader noted. “I just recently cited these facts: cover for certain strong states and their goals. “
Earlier, Lukashenka accused Poland of trying to bring down the economy of Belarus. According to him, Warsaw wanted the Belarusian ruble to depreciate, and store shelves in the country were empty.
Lukashenko also explained the protests taking place in Belarus by the desire of external forces to “remove a competitor “represented by the republic. “For a quarter of a century, Belarus has built an effective model of the social state structure, which makes it possible to defend national interests,” he noted.
