Lukashenko urges Minsk meeting participants to cast away political ambition in resolving Ukrainian crisis

MINSK. Aug 26 (Interfax) - Participants of the meeting in Minsk should cast away ambition with regard to resolving the Ukrainian crisis, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said.

"If we want to be considered responsible politicians, we should realize the whole weight of responsibility on our nations, to cast away political ambition, not to look for some dividends, and to think about the destinies of ordinary people," Lukashenko said in Minsk on Tuesday upon opening the meeting between the Customs Union, the European Union and Ukraine.
