The time has come for a forgetful Europe to go through moral cleansing, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting in the run-up to Independence Day in Minsk on 2 July, BelTA has learned.

But the time has come for the forgetful Europe to give itself a moral cleansing," Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.

"Cleansing."

Let's just hope cool heads prevail over there!
