Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko discussed “regional security and bilateral relations” during a one-on-one meeting on Christmas Day, a spokeswoman for the Belarusian leader says.
The pair spoke in private before today’s Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting near St Petersburg (see 16.00 post).
“You and I understand that presidents can never sidestep security issues, said spokeswoman Natalia Eismont.
“The number one item on the agenda is security issues in general, regional security, the situation that is unfolding now, as it is changing literally by the hour, if not by the minute. So, of course, these are number one issues.”
