Lukashenko: Kaliningrad residents are our people
The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, at a meeting with the Governor of the Kaliningrad region of Russia, Alexey Besprozvannykh, noted the special closeness between Belarus and this Russian region, reports a BELTA correspondent.
"Kaliningraders are our people. We always know this. If it were possible to count how many Belarusians are among Russians and others (but this is impossible, I have never done this in my practice), then the overwhelming majority there would probably be Belarusians," said Alexander Lukashenko.
In this regard, Alexey Besprozvannykh noted that there are three members of the government of the Kaliningrad region in his delegation who were born in Belarus. "Historically, we have lived together as brotherly peoples and will continue to live together," he emphasized.
