MINSK: The outcome of Russia’s presidential election sends a clear message to the West that it cannot rock the boat from the inside, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said.
"This was a serious signal to the West, which was banking on shaking the situation from inside Russia. If they can’t do it on the frontline, then try it from the inside. This failed too," the BelTA news agency quoted him as saying.
He stressed that no one can force anything on the peoples of Belarus and Russia. He also noted that it would be expedient to "analyze how the election [in Russia] was held" ahead of the presidential election in Belarus in 2025.
He lauded how well-organized the electoral process in Russia was. "Naturally, the president [Vladimir Putin] had to work a lot, you saw this. Tirelessly. He traveled across all of Russia, visited various places, and responded to vital questions from the Russian people," Lukashenko said. "The planning and process of the electoral process was perfect. There is a lot to learn. Everybody was mobilized and consolidated <…>. People were patriotic and the result was perfects. This is a lesson for us."
