Lavrov: Belarus and Kazakhstan "understand" annexation of Crimea

Sergey Lavrov continues to deny any misunderstanding or friction in relations with "allies."

Belarus and Kazakhstan "understand" the Russian annexation of Crimea, Sergei Lavrov said in the interview with Russian radio stations, AFN writes.

"Our neighbors understand it, I can assure you," "Lavrov said, responding to a reporter's comment that the authorities of neighbouring countries became nervous after annexation of Crimea, because they have a sufficient number of Russians and it may cause similar effects with Crimea.

Lavrov continues to deny any misunderstanding or tensions with allies, answering the question about Lukashenka's absence in Moscow on parade on May 9.

"No, I don't feel so", he stated, answering the question about whether Lukashenka "changed us for forgiveness of Europe".

"President Administration has commented on it, and Aliaksandr Hryhoryevich will be here on May 8 to participate in several scheduled events and then he will leave for Belarus", Lavrov said.

He also said that "the Belarusian soldiers together with a number of soldiers from other countries, not only from the CIS countries, will participate in the parade on May 9."

Interfax reports more than 300 Russian soldiers and about 30 units of modern military equipment will take part in the parade in Minsk on May 9.

T-90 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-3), BTR-82A, lightly armored vehicles "Tigers", self-propelled artillery weapon 2S19 "Msta" will be a part of mechanized columns, the Russian Defense Ministry informs.
