Under Lukashenko, Belarus does not recognize Crimea as Russian
Belarus does not recognize Crimea as Russian until the country's president is replaced.
Columnist Yuri Baranchik told PolitNavigator about this.
“This is not the first such gesture, all this is being carried out within the framework of the notorious multi-vector policy of official Minsk, which is trying to simultaneously sit not even on two, but on ten chairs, is trying to declare allied relations with Russia, and is engaged in business quite closely, supporting the neo-Bandera junta in Ukraine.
Therefore, this is all natural and these are not the first symptoms of a failed foreign policy. Naturally, this situation will not change under the current leadership of the republic. Accordingly, I think we just need to wait until the citizens of the republic elect a new president, especially since elections are planned in Belarus this year. So let’s hope for the best,” Baranchyk said.
Earlier, the head of the Belarusian community in Crimea, Roman Chegrinets, appealed to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko with a request to organize direct flights and trains between Minsk and Simferopol, but received responses from Belavia and Belarusian Railways, which stated that they did not see the economic feasibility of organizing new flights.
