Lukashenko: We have significantly lowered the bar in trade cooperation
Lukashenko: "Regarding our cooperation, we must honestly admit that we have significantly lowered the bar in trade. But everything is in our hands. We once had a turnover nearly three times higher than now. We need to restore it and find appropriate ways. And we, in particular, should not wait behind the door or over the fence for someone to come and offer us some options. We need to find mutually acceptable interests to at least reach the level we once had. If we're being completely honest."
