Alyaksandr Lukashenka claimed that he was ready for "large-scale normalization of U.S. – Belarus relations" at a meeting with representatives of U.S. analytical centres on December 14.
The Belarusian President noted that the official Washington’s policy in relations with this or that country was based on analysts’ assessments and forecasts a lot, reports BelTA. In connection with it he stressed that "Belarus is not begging for free billions" and expressed a hope that "we will be considered a partner rather than a country that could be stifled, bent down and maybe crushed".
