The Kremlin called Lukashenko's criticism of the EAEU a reason to work

Criticism of the effectiveness of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is a reason to work. On May 29, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, told reporters.

Lukashenko said on the same day at the EAEU summit in Astana that recycling rates in the Union countries could soon exceed the cost of the vehicles themselves. The Belarusian leader expressed bewilderment at the expediency of such measures and called for correcting the situation in the industrial policy of the association, which, in his opinion, is "clearly lame."

"This is Alexander Grigoryevich's position, and everyone respects it as well. Not everyone agrees with us. This criticism is directed at us, and this is a reason to work," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The Kremlin's official representative added that these critical statements by Lukashenko are a reason to work on both unilateral and multilateral levels.
