4 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, will meet on Wednesday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow 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 in which they will address “a wide range of issues in relations between Russia and Belarus”, including measures to “guarantee security”.

The next day, Thursday, Lukashenko will participate in a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State, a supranational entity that brings together Russia and Belarus, where security issues in both countries will also be addressed.

Likewise, it is expected that both leaders will also discuss the proposal for a truce in Ukraine formulated by Luksashenko, who advocates this measure as a step prior to the start of peace talks between Moscow and Kiev.

Already last week, the Kremlin spokesman, Dimitri Peskov, spoke out against accepting this proposal and defended that the special military operation, the euphemism with which Moscow refers to the armed offensive on Ukraine, is “the only way to achieve the goals”.
