Two and a half hours of talks in Minsk, where it has not happened since June 2019. Vladimir Putin visits Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus to further strengthen the strategic alliance between the two countries.

The head of the press service of the Russian Federation then invites the Ukrainian general Valery Zaluzhny to “rest”.
