Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko received Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin at Minsk airport on a red carpet with bread and salt. This is shown by images from the pro-government Belarusian Telegram channel Pool Pervogo. The two former Soviet republics are close allies, with Lukashenko’s government totally dependent on Moscow politically, economically and militarily after sanctions imposed by the West.
While the two leaders’ contacts are regular and frequent, it is Putin’s first visit to Belarus in three years. Before the visit, Lukashenko had announced that the primary focus would be on deepening economic cooperation. On the Moscow side, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov countered speculation that Russia would urge its western neighbor to enter the war against Ukraine.
