President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with the governor of the Kaliningrad region Anton Alikhanov said that the country has such long-standing and close relations with the Russian region that the Belarusian leader himself called the region “his own”. This is reported by the Telegram-channel "Pool of the First".

“Belarus in the Soviet Union has always, so to speak, been responsible for the Kaliningrad region, so I have always called it mine. But I was afraid that the Russians would not think that we were pretending to capture the Kaliningrad region, ”Lukashenko explained.
