Well, you guys certainly told him
The EU and the US have agreed that Lukashenka and other Belarussian officials have to go to Moscow to buy their Prada handbags. The truly embarassing thing about this is Luka's quite legitimate unflappability over the issue:
"If the United States and European Union countries respect the people of Belarus, they should respect their choice," Andrei Popov, a ministry spokesman, said on national television. "The Republic of Belarus retains the right to take retaliatory measures.'The threat seemed to expand on a remark earlier in the week by Mr. Lukashenko, who said Europe would hardly be able to restrict its trade with Belarus, a main transit route to the West for Russian gas and oil.
Oh, right.
