Lukashenko calls Ukraine to solve energy security issues jointly

President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko has called Ukraine to settle problems of energy security of both countries jointly.

"Several times we discussed these issues with Ukraine's authority. All the time we tumble over gas and oil issues, while we have great opportunities and instruments to influence the situation," Lukashenko told Ukrainian journalists in Minsk.

"Belarus and Ukraine just need to agree and configuration in economic and political relations will change immediately. It is utterly advantageous for Belarussians, and it is even more advantageous for Ukrainians," Lukashenko said.
