During his working trip to Grodno, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko explained why he once forbade the government and officials to complain about sanctions, BelTA reports.
"I proceeded from a simple logic (I can say today): if a boss, an official, a director of an enterprise is given an opportunity to turn away from straining and working, he will take advantage of it. That is why I immediately said: "There are no sanctions. Forget it, there are no sanctions for you," said Alexander Lukashenko.
"What difference does it make to our people whether there are sanctions or not. They want to live, they want to work. And time has chosen us to be the bosses, and we must do everything to make our people live, work and be able to support their families," added the head of state.
