Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has urged Moscow to be more accurate in assessing the role of Belarus in the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Opinions can be heard in Russia that the role of Belarus in defeating the enemy was not as high it is perceived in Belarus, he said.
"One should be very cautious about such statements. They hurt us, we are sensitive to this," Lukashenko said.
He said that for him as the head of state, partnership relations with Russia are nevertheless a strategic priority.
"I will endure and survive any hardships so that we could be together," Lukashenko said.
