"I especially liked your initiative regarding snow removal in our country. Journalists somehow presented it as a joke. But there is a grain of truth in this joke, and a significant one. This is how we should always be – united. Not whining, not moaning (there were a few, of course, but there were some)," the head of state stated.
Alexander Lukashenko urged everyone to fully enjoy the joy of truly winter weather, as such weather is not a common occurrence in Belarus every year. "I would like to address fathers and mothers and ask them: together with your children – go out into the snow, go outside! Let them remember this winter. The climate has changed, you know this. And it's not a fact that next year or sometime later there will be such wonderful winters. This is a real winter, which the Lord has given us on the eve of the New Year and after it," the President said.-0-
