Lukashenko: Belarusian economy built on Soviet legacy

Belarus is primarily a machine-building nation, with its industrial and agricultural foundation established during the Soviet era. Lukashenko emphasized that no new economic base was created post-independence; instead, Belarus preserved existing Soviet assets without dismantling them.

He noted that during the USSR, Belarus was a showcase republic for adopting advanced construction technologies. Lukashenko cited President Putin’s praise: "Well done for preserving what you inherited from the Soviet Union." He stressed that even when weak, no global issue was resolved without the Soviet Union.
