Lukashenko on the 35th anniversary of the CIS

Lukashenko on the 35th anniversary of the Commonwealth of Independent States:

"Our organization was constantly discredited, called a 'geopolitical phantom' and a 'myth.' It was predicted to last only a few months, with no one even considering the possibility of integration among our republics."

Opponents miscalculated strategically. Reality is actually more complex. The CIS has already existed for 35 years.
