Vitaly Tretyakov about Lukashenka’s meeting with Poroshenko: Why Old Man creates its own problems with their own hands? – TVNZ

On Sunday, the “Boryspil” aircraft landed president. Meets Old Man asked Poroshenko. Smiles, hugs, and after negotiations behind closed doors.

Alexander Lukashenko first thing assured Ukrainian counterpart, as an old man Hottabych that perform any of its desire. Per day.

– I want in Ukraine was good. Many understands how some games and so on. I know that you’re not perceive it. You are the president, you hurt. I hurt too. And I assume from this. If need be, I’ll even earlier said, it will be necessary to Belarus something – say, we’ll do everything for the day that you ask. All that the President of Ukraine or asked to speak publicly, we always did everything. And so it will continue. For us it is not a game. Not only because the trade, but because we are neighbors, we live near, we native people – quoted the Belarusian leader agency “Belt”.

It is a pity that they are not hopeful Poroshenko announced – on at least publicly. But Lukashenko said that is not afraid to contribute to the settlement of the conflict in the south-east of Ukraine (“I am the organizer, not a peacemaker and mediator!”) And is ready to continue to provide a platform. “I say, that’s where Lukashenko is afraid of something. I’m not afraid. Let’s all anybody say anything will not, and will do in secret, but that there has been progress in this direction. I told you: we have something we can do for you, call, tell me what this is and it should be done, it is necessary to connect to another process, and I’ll just guarantee: if you make a decision, as you said, to continue dialogue in Minsk, Minsk will have on site to discuss something, you know that you have friends there and we are always ready to fulfill all your orders, “- promised the guest.

Ukraine – the second largest importer Belarusian goods (about $ 7 billion). But today in Minsk beats bouncing as the Russian ruble, and the civil war in the Square. “Who will replace this trade? No one “, – concluded Alexander Grigoryevich.

Well, Peter A. promised to help Minsk to develop relations with the European Union in the framework of the” Eastern Partnership “. Namely, that help. They had already developed their God forbid … “We are interested in supporting Belarus, if it deems it appropriate, in the development of relations within the” Eastern Partnership “.Nachinaya of integrated management, ending with energy efficiency. For our part we have achieved sufficient success in this sphere “, – said the president of Ukraine.

Another of the plans for the future – a joint TV channel. It’s time for Belarusians apparently convey samostiynost propaganda.

«Belarusians have the right to know the different points of view, and it would be nice if one of the information channels of Ukraine had the opportunity to broadcast on the territory of Belarus”, – said Poroshenko .

Expert Commentary

Vitaly Tretyakov, a political scientist, Dean of the Graduate School of Television MSU:

“Joint channel ignite in Minsk maidan”

– I do not think that if Poroshenko ask to transfer Belarusian division in Donetsk and Lugansk, Lukashenko is executed, even if not for the day. It’s a figure of speech. We see the correct arguments that Belarusians and Ukrainians brothers, but to the same extent they are brothers and Russian. Only Ukrainians now do not behave as brothers. This phrase rather refers to economic assistance. The strange thing here is not so, and plans for joint channel. It is clear in which direction will be broadcast, and Ukrainian journalists soon kindle new maidan already in Minsk. Why Lukashenka do yourself a problem with their own hands?

The words Poroshenko for help in improving relations with the EU are simply ridiculous. Kiev is not asking for money, here negotiator. If Minsk is necessary, it will be enough to call Warsaw Member States. What Lukashenka maneuvers – has long been known, but he wants to keep his power and sees the guarantor of Moscow. I think that neither his visit, much less visit could become the mediator “Oriental sage” Nazarbayev in Kiev were not a surprise to Moscow. At least – the Kremlin was informed. As a maximum – there is concerted action of what Nazarbayev arrived in Kiev.

SAID!

«With the US tried to be friends Milosevic, Gaddafi, Hussein. Their fate is unknown. Now the US offer a “new relationship” Lukashenko. Experience dangerous … ».
