The meeting between Lukashenko and Putin took place on the sidelines of the Valdai Forum, an annual conference in Russia. Both sides held the talks behind closed doors, and no details were initially disclosed.
The surprise visit underscores the close political and military alliance between the two countries.
Lukashenko had previously publicly asked not to drag Belarus into Russia’s war against Ukraine. Nevertheless, Belarus serves as a staging ground for Russian attacks on Ukraine.
