Alyaksandr Lukashenka

The Belarus leader says Vice Prime Minister Uladzimir Syamashka who oversees the industry, oil and energy sector cannnot be replaced at the moment.

The President believes that, before anything else, it is good for Belarus.

The heads of the regional executives committees have changed in Brest, Vitsebsk and Mahilyou Provinces recently.

The Belarus leader promised to prevent price increases even after 15 January, when the 'New Year freeze' ends.

"It is not your business whether you like me or not,” Alyaksandr Lukashenka announced at a press conference in Moscow.

Belarusians have not come to the Russian capital ‘to beg’, he claimed.

It is not clear whether the President paid attention to it.

The Belarus president on December 22 decided to discharge the head of Mahilou regional administration.

The head of state on Monday spoke about the situation on the financial and currency market.
