Lukashenko: Belarus will not devalue national currency after Russia

       Belarus will not devalue the national currency following Russia, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said at the session to discuss economic issues in Minsk.
Alexander Lukashenko emphasized: “I will not surprise anyone by saying that our stance remains the same. We will not follow Russia. It is absolutely unacceptable because the situation on the Russian market is unclear.”

      I’ve been hearing a lot of complaints recently about the fall of the Russian ruble since Russia accounts for 40% of our export and we are losing money.
     But this is the kind of partner we have today and this is the kind of situation we see in Russia and Ukraine, which is our partner, too. But there is always a way out. If we lose something somewhere, then we have to gain something in another place.
