Putin to come to Belarus on Monday

This is reported by the Lukashenko-controlled Telegram channel Pool One.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to arrive in Minsk with a large government delegation.

The meeting will be held at the level of members of the governments of the two countries, heads of ministries and departments. Belarusian-Russian integration will be discussed.

One-on-one talks between Lukashenko and Putin are also scheduled.

The two dictators are expected to discuss the implementation of Union programs, trade and economic cooperation, import substitution, cooperation in the energy sector.

Priority will also be given to security issues.

It should be recalled that Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu flew to Minsk in early December, when amendments to the agreement on joint provision of regional security in the military sphere were signed with Belarus.
