Diplomatic conflict with Sweden not related to teddy bear airdrop - Lukashenko

ASTRAVETS, Grodno region. Aug 9 (Interfax) - The diplomatic conflict between Belarus and Sweden is not linked to the so-called "teddy-bear airdrop," Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said.

"Some are linking this problem either to teddy bears or to elephants. These are absolutely different things," Lukashenko told reporters during his working trip to the Grodno region.
