Let us remind you that the day before Alexander Lukashenko arrived on a working visit to the Russian Federation. The reports say that Vladimir Putin's meeting with his Belarusian counterpart lasted more than 5 hours. This is a record of all the last meetings of the two leaders.
Alexander Lukashenko, while on a visit to Sochi (residence of Bocharov Ruchei), informed Vladimir Putin about the situation surrounding the forced landing of a passenger plane en route from Athens to Vilnius. According to the head of the Republic of Belarus, he hopes to "overcome the difficulties associated with this."

Lukashenka replied to this proposal:
According to the President of Belarus, the countries in the near future can restore the volume of trade that was before the pandemic. Lukashenko named the previous record volume - about $ 35 billion.
Lukashenko:
The President of Belarus touched upon the ban on the part of European countries for the Belarusian company "Belavia" to make flights to the EU. Lukashenka called such a decision “an abomination”, noting that in the most acute period, it was Belavia that helped a number of European countries to export their citizens, including tourists, from abroad.
President of the Republic of Belarus:
According to Lukashenka, now, instead of gratitude, the Belavia airline "has been soaked to the fullest, although it has nothing to do with the incident with the plane of the foreign airline."
The President of the Republic of Belarus thanked the Russian Federation for its support, noting that Russia does not accept aircraft of foreign air carriers in its airspace if they fly around Belarus. Recall that on the eve of the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called such a decision of Russia associated with technical problems with points of entry into the airspace of the Russian Federation.
Vladimir Putin:
Lukashenko noted that he understands what "Western friends want", adding: "There are no heights that the Bolsheviks did not take."
President of the Republic of Belarus:
The head of Belarus stayed in Sochi for the weekend.
