Lukashenko will go to Moscow with his children
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko finally confirmed his visit to Moscow for the Victory Parade. Previously, Russian diplomats had to do this for him, since the Belarusian leader stubbornly kept the intrigue going.
The resolution of the intrigue occurred after today's telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a message about the topics of the conversation, the official Kremlin website put the 75th anniversary of the Victory in first place, “significant for the peoples of the two countries,” and Lukashenko’s official telegram put the epidemiological situation in first place.
“Satisfaction was expressed with the completion of work on the Russian-Belarusian intergovernmental agreement on mutual recognition of visas,” the Kremlin reported.
And Lukashenko says that “economic issues” were discussed.
At the same time, the press service of the Belarusian leader happily adds that he will come to Moscow with his two sons.
Whatever the leaders of the two countries talked about, Lukashenko was pleased with this conversation.
“We really had an open, good conversation, although many here think that something sparks with us - nothing sparks with us, there are always problems,” Lukashenko said, meeting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who arrived in Minsk from Serbia.
The Russian minister, as usual, did not mince words. “A spark is needed for ignition, to move forward,” Lavrov retorted.
Ukrainian analyst Dmitry Dzhangirov believes that a visit to Moscow is the only chance for Lukashenko to avoid the Maidan in Minsk.
“The knee-jerk victory in the elections, coupled with the severance of allied relations with Moscow, opens a direct path to the Belarusian Maidan. The Victory Parade on June 24 is a good chance for Lukashenko to reduce tension within the Union State. However, he may be surprised to discover that reconciliation requires the consent of the two parties,” Dzhangirov said.
