March 18, Deep. President of Belarus ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO emphasizes the importance of having a strong economic foundation for ensuring the independence of the state, and for this, in turn, the contribution of everyone in their workplace and initiative is important. The HEAD of state made the relevant statements today in Glubokoye on the development of agro-industrial associations in the Vitebsk region, BelTA has learned.

“Idleness is unacceptable. Even if you have to dig the earth with a shovel tomorrow. Don’t you feel what the situation is?! We want to be independent, but no one wants to stir up this independence. From members of the government to a milkmaid,” the head of state said. “Therefore, if you chose this independence, let's work hard. Why are you twisting and turning these numbers to me. We need MILK and MEAT! You have production facilities that process them. Load them, and I won't have any complaints against you. Then you will have money."

“Why are you telephoning and looking at each other?! Start with shots! Put things in order,” the Belarusian leader demanded.
