“I haven’t forgotten, and won’t forget the native land of my forefathers, Vitsebsk region,” Yanukovych added.

Alyaksandr Lukashenka said that he remembers the last meeting with Yanukovych in Minsk well. “We have reached many agreements then. And no matter what they say about different authorities that have come, we have been able to implement all the agreements we have reached,” he underlined. “We need no divisions in the East, West or South. We have a successful country, a state with wonderful people,” he added.

According to “Korrespondent”, Lukashenka has arrived to Kyiv with his younger son Nikolay (Kolya).
