Putin and Lukashenko meet amid ceasefire talks, whispers
Alexander Lukashenko is already in Moscow. Putin may respond to the proposal for a ceasefire on Thursday.
Much of the information provided by Russian media or government representatives is part of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information warfare conducted by the Russian Federation.
A joint press conference is scheduled after today's meeting between Putin and Lukashenko in Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov suggested that Putin may address the topic of Ukraine during this event, as reported by ria.ru.
The service notes that it is unclear whether Washington and Moscow have exchanged views on this topic. Media reports indicate that Putin and Trump have a phone conversation scheduled for this Friday.
At the beginning of March, Russia proposed the construction of drone factories on its territory to Belarus, potentially producing up to 100,000 unmanned aerial vehicles per year. Alexander Lukashenko, as reported by Russian and Belarusian media, stated that this is a "tremendous opportunity" for his country.
