Russia’s ties with neighbor Belarus “won’t be the same” after recent comments by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s spokeswoman said.

“Relations with the Belarusian leadership have clearly hit a dead-end recently,” Natalya Timakova told reporters in the Russian Black Sea resort of Gelendzhik today. Her comments came in response to a question about Medvedev’s blog devoted to Russia’s relationship with Belarus.
