Lukashenko has remained Putin’s closest supporter despite allowing Russian soldiers to use Belarusian territory as a launchpad for their Ukraine offensive.

The Kremlin later stated that Putin also spoke with Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
