Lukashenko Speaks of Belarusians' 'Pilgrimage' to Moscow, Supports High-Speed Rail to Minsk

"I know your patriotic feelings and attitude toward Russia. But our Fatherland is common, as I often say, from Vladivostok to Brest. So Belarus should not feel foreign to you. Especially since I very positively received the recent decision taken in Russia on the construction of a high-speed motorway from Moscow to Minsk," said the Head of State. "This is very interesting for our people. Because in recent years (Belarusian citizens have been visiting Russia and its capital more often) — I've already started calling it some kind of pilgrimage by Belarusians to Moscow. Especially the youth."
