There is simply no other way to change his pattern of behavior.

According to Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Aliaksandr Lukashenka once again confirms Belarus' dependence on Russia.

"This once again perfectly illustrates how dependent Belarus is on Russia, how many different ties are established, and even if sometimes the Belarusian dictator claims that he is talking about some protection of independence and some autonomy in one area or another, we should not get deceived - we should understand well that this state is comprehensively dependent on Russia in every sense, and therefore we should not have even minimal illusions," DELFI quoted Nauseda.

"We must by all possible civilized means keep the Belarusian dictator from such actions [obviously we are talking about the incident with the Ryanair plane], which we encountered quite recently, and the best way to do it is to raise the price of such actions to the maximum, so that such actions cost expensive and are painful. There is simply no other way to change the pattern of behavior," he added.
