Lukashenko: All sanctions-related problems will be settled this year

MINSK, 26 October (BelTA) – We are looking to fully settle all the issues connected with the western sanctions this year, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó in Minsk on 26 October, BelTA has learned.

"I think that by and large we have overcome the effect of the sanctions (this is not the first time we have faced them). Indeed, there are still some problems with logistics as we are rebuilding the routes, and some financial issues (with payments and so on)," the head of state stated.

"But I think we will settle these problems. By and large we already did. But there are certain losses. I think we'll make up for them. Next year we fully deal with these problems," the president said.
