 Lukashenko. Russia and Belarus are in a difficult situation. We expect new blows. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko speaking in the wake of the latest events in Russia has called for avoiding demands for not terminating the criminal case over calls for an armed mutiny. I've seen this tendency. Some started yelling and condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin and urging him not to stop criminal prosecution and to catch whack and jail. This is what I would like to warn us and Russian society against. Look, there are some people worth whacking, especially you know where. And there are those worth putting in jail where it is necessary. The Beiter news agency quotes Lukashenko as saying he stressed that his appeal was addressed to Belarusians and to Russians superpatriots. It always happens this way. Some superpatriots have appeared. I've seen this trend. This is what I would like to caution both us and Russian society against. Lukashenko added Lukashenko has said that the attempted mutiny by the private military company Wagner will give an opportunity to the West to hit at the sore spots in Russia and Belarus. Let's face the worst that we are in for hard times. He said Western officials are sure to draw certain conclusions from Wagner's March on Moscow. The president said they will coordinate their work, focus and hit at the sore spots. Lukashenko said he backed Russian President Vladimir Putin in saying that people need to be united in the face of the latest challenges. Lukashenko also called for turning the page on the attempted rebellion if only to circle back to it at a later time. We need to cool down and turn this page. A time will come when, if need be, we will come back to this subject. But now is the time to cool down. Let's not inflame tensions and come down on anyone, he said.
