Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko will meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday as part of a working visit to the Eurasian country that will last until Thursday.
As detailed by the press service of the Belarusian Presidency, Lukashenko and Putin will hold a bilateral meeting at which they will address »a wide range of issues of Russian-Belarusian relations», including measures to »ensure security».
The following day, on Thursday, Lukashenko will participate in a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State, a supranational entity that unites Russia and Belarus, where security issues of both countries will also be discussed.
The two leaders are also expected to discuss the proposal for a truce in Ukraine made by Luksashenko, who advocates this measure as a preliminary step to the start of peace talks between Moscow and Kiev.
Last week the Kremlin spokesman, Dimitri Peskov, said he was against accepting this proposal and defended that the special military operation, euphemism with which Moscow refers to the armed offensive on Ukraine, is »the only way to achieve the objectives».
