The dictator was outraged that water from the river was going to Ukraine.

Dictator Lukashenka started complaining that water from Pripyat is leaking into Ukraine. He stated this at the meeting on the development of the Pripyat Polesie regions on November 18:

- Pripyat has become shallow, this is bad, that is bad... Listen, [the river] Pripyat (right tributary of the Dnieper - Editor's note)... Where do these waters go? It would be fine if Ukraine used the Dnieper waters in full... These waters go to the sea. So why don't we think today that this water should be "turned back" when it is necessary and where it is necessary? - said Lukashenko

In this regard, he mentioned that the leadership of Gomel region suggested him to return to the topic of the Dnieper-Bug canals.

Lukashenko promised to consult with "knowledgeable people" on this topic.
