Putin and Lukashenko will not meet this year
The meeting of the presidents of Russia and Belarus will not take place until the end of the year.
This was reported by the telegram channel “Pool of the First,” which is considered an informal mouthpiece of Lukashenko (previously, he was the first to leak videos from closed events).
“Firstly, the president in St. Petersburg said: questions of a clarifying nature can be resolved over the phone. Secondly, we don’t know about the first one, but his pool doesn’t book tickets anywhere. So relax and calmly cook Olivier,” reports the channel, claiming to be an insider.
The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, also said today that the meeting of leaders may not take place before the New Year.
“A separate meeting between Putin and Lukashenko was not announced until the New Year. They can make any decision that is necessary to continue working. The signing of agreed roadmaps is a formality. The main thing is that they are agreed upon,” Peskov said.
On Monday, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Belarus Dmitry Krutoy said that the approval of integration documents will take 2-3 days, after which the presidents will sign them in a solemn atmosphere. Later there was a rumor that the event was scheduled for December 29.
However, on Tuesday, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko gave a scandalous interview to the liberal Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy, in which he stated that he did not intend to create supranational bodies in the Union State.
