Putin will not go to Lukashenko to approve the integration programs of Russia and Belarus
The meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, at which it is planned to adopt 28 integration programs, will be held on November 4 in an online format.
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko told the boy Roman Kogodovsky about this today, whom he awarded for his feat in the fire, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We will conduct negotiations with Putin online, on TV,” he said.
Previously, it was expected that Putin would visit Minsk before the adoption of integration programs.
28 union programs are aimed at unifying the legislation of the Russian Federation and Belarus in various areas of the economy, leveling the conditions for business activities, building common financial and energy markets, transport space, as well as the formation and implementation of a common industrial and agricultural policy. These programs were agreed upon in September at negotiations between Putin and Lukashenko in Moscow, and then approved at a meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Union State in Minsk.
Political scientist Maxim Zharov believes that it was high time for Vladimir Putin to transfer communication with Lukashenko online.
“The very fact of Putin’s transition to online communication with Lukashenko does not contain any sensation. This is what everything was heading towards, and it’s strange that this didn’t happen much earlier. It makes no sense to meet one-on-one with a supposed ally who, immediately upon arriving home, begins idle conversations about the meeting in his circle, which, in turn, relays these conversations far beyond the country’s borders.
It has already been said more than once that the best way for the Kremlin to shift the situation in Belarus in its favor is to increase the distance with Lukashenko and give him the opportunity to personally and publicly cross the boundaries of what is acceptable in relations with Putin,” Zharov wrote in his Telegram channel.
