Im phil girl welcome to the program russian president Vladimir Putin has pledged to extend the state credit of 1500000000. 00 he also expressed support for president Alexander Lukashenko following talks in the russian city of sochi president was there to appeal for help as he faces the biggest protests of his 26 years in power more than 100000 people joined demonstrations in baton rouge the capital minsk over the weekend calling for his resignation hundreds were arrested the demonstrations began last month after about a roses disputed election. Well ive been speaking with g. W. Correspondent unit russia 2 in moscow an economy in minsk about these 1st face to face talks between the 2 leaders since that election i started by asking yuri what was on the agenda while there are obviously feel 2 main aspects of both politicians have been talking about a political aspect and an economic one as for politics the russian president Vladimir Putin spoke about that the constitutional reforms that apparently will take place in belarus in the near future and which in he subpoenaed would be the right approach he said that that was the proposal of local shankar to carry out of that reform was logical and came at the right time on the one hand this is interesting because putin has been talking about and necessary change in belarus whatever this change might be however look at change the status quo could be changed on the other hand putin himself initiated a constitutional reform in russia only a few months ago which securities power here until 20 or 36 change in the constitution of belarus doesnt necessarily mean that the question could stay in power as long as what it means is that from now on the kremlin strategists will probably be able to work hand in hand with the political advisers in belair also especially on the future political model for the country so make calmly how important is russias support for president. Its vital you have nowhere else to go think the past quarter century has tried to keep hold position between the west and russia essentially trading loyalty to russia for financial and other support from the kremlin every time the kremlin daal down that support he made overtures to the west trying to get more support from kremlin for most of the time successfully now that option is gone the west is not going to give him any kind of support given the brutality weve seen on the streets of minsk in recent weeks and so now basically i go look shanker is in the position where the refuting is always one
