On Thursday Vladimir Putin and the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko have met in Moscow and held a news conference.
Lukashenko said that he and Putin have been speaking about the war in Ukraine and they “will work on this today and tomorrow.”
Lukashenko said that people must “trust the facts” without divulging any further details and added, “That’s the most important thing. And all these statements and all these promises are just empty words.”
The Belarusian President condemned the “illegitimate sanctions” Western leaders have place on Russia, adding, “We are confident that we will be able to overcome that pressure.”
In their joint statement after holding talks for some two hours both Russia and Belarus accused NATO’s actions with their involvement in Ukraine as being hostile and destabilising.
Putin said during the conference that tactical nuclear weapons has been deployed to Belarus to protect Russian security.
Putin said in the joint statement, “We discussed in detail forming a common defence space.
“In Belarus, a joint regional group of forces has been deployed and modern defensive and tactical nuclear arms have been deployed.”
Lukashenko and Putin have also signed a bilateral agreement on cooperation of intellectual property.
