Lukashenko urged Belarusians, Ukrainians and Russians to restore unpromising villages in Belarus
Speaking at the Kupala Night Festival (Alexandria Gathers Friends), President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko again urged Belarusians to buy small plots in small villages
Addressing the Belarusians and guests of our country present at the festival, the Head of State stressed, “Dear Belarusians and our closest friends from Ukraine and Russia, I want to tell you once again: think about my offer to buy small plots in the so-called unpromising villages for a small sum of money. You know that we have preserved our villages. We’re building more than one and a half thousand agro-towns; their location has already been determined. Agriculture is being expanded, meaning that agro-towns will also be large. We still have medium-sized and very small villages where many people used to live. These are wonderful places. These medium-sized and small villages shouldn’t die. Who will restore them? Who will keep them? We! You have to revive these villages. May you have this little summer house there. Do it now, it will be too late tomorrow. Do it because you have children and they have to walk barefoot on the ground. There will be no such land plots tomorrow. Because Belarus has become a quiet, peaceful and cosy place for Russians and Ukrainians.”
The President spoke about one of the meetings with Muscovites in a Belarusian village, “They are not poor people at all. I asked them why they come here as a family every year and why they need this. They replied: ‘We’re seeking silence. We feel comfortable here. There’s absolute silence here. We and our children need it, especially if there is Trofimova Krinitsa nearby’.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko recommended that everyone find time and plunge into this natural source of health, as many of our guests from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia have already done and are doing.
“I guarantee that you will be healthy… These are my thoughts here at home. I ask you to listen to my recommendations. After all, I have seen a lot in my life and spent much time on this land where you are today,” the Head of State added.
Aleksandr Lukashenko addressed all those present from the bottom of his heart, “I would like to wish all of you, my dear Belarusians and our kind guests, happiness and success.”
“I sincerely invite you to the Kupala fairy tale!” the President added in the Belarusian language.
