Lukashenka: Makei and MFA may resign

The ruler complains about the MFA's performance during a tea party in Sochi.

Lukashenka said as he congratulated Darya Domracheva on her victory in biathlon women's pursuit on Tuesday that the Foreign Ministry's officials may resign.

“Makei and MFA may resign! Entire Russian, the Germans, the French! Belarus, Domracheva! Thank you for the victory!” Lukashenka said.

The ruler demanded that Darya Domracheva bear the Belarusian national flag at the closing ceremony.
