Have you ever seen me say anything great about Ukraine?
Sorry, I am a U.S. patriot.
Interesting spin. I thought Lukashenko saying this was the current pro-Russian line?
.
Before Putin, Lukashenko envisioned Belarus joining Russia with Lukashenko as leader.
What kind of crack is that? You CIA like Mr. Bud Lightly?
