Lukashenka pins hopes on Russia's isolation

The ruler visited the Dziarzhynsk district and expressed a hope that Russia would buy more Belarusian goods due to its international isolation.

“If you don't miss the chance, you will have lots of orders from Russia. You see the situation. It [Russia] will face enormous pressure. So, we need to offer our products in time. We need to do it in time, to offer our goods to Russia, Kazakhstan and so on,” STV quotes Lukashenka as saying.

The Belarusian ruler made this statement on March 27 during a visit to Dziarzhysnk-based hydraulics manufacturer Saleo.
