The Minister of foreign Affairs of Belarus Vladimir Makei criticized the words of press Secretary of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin about Moscow provided assistance to Minsk in the fight against coronavirus, reports Tut.by.
The head of the foreign Ministry of Belarus stressed that if officially to make such statements, they must have a reason.
“We would want to understand what was going on. Can, help that suddenly closed borders, putting us in this position? I still recall with a shudder when at the initial stage we received information that our citizens who have had plane tickets for the Russian tour operators were just thrown from the plane,” — said Mackay, adding that after persistent appeals to the Russian side “the situation is more or less normal”.
“Or these 15 infected man from Nizhny Tagil — it is also helping Russia? For God’s sake, we all will heal, all will help you figure it all out,” said the Minister.
At the same time he reminded that Russia gave free Belarus 10 thousand test systems for the detection of coronavirus. According to him, they were all aimed at the Belarusian-Russian border to check transit passengers.
“We are certainly grateful, but 10 of thousands of tests is 2.5 days of work: every day we have in the country is consumed about 4 million tests,” said Mackay.
April 9, Peskov said that Russia provides assistance to Belarus in combating coronavirus. Earlier it was reported that Minsk asked Moscow’s help in particular with the allocation of medical masks, test systems and ventilators. Sands in response to this information stated that he did not know about this treatment, noting that the fight against COVID-19 is not possible without interaction.
