The details of the discussions between Alyaksandr Lukashenka and Vladimir Putin at Valdai over the past two days remain unclear. According to Alyaksandr Klaskouski, a political observer for the Pozirk news agency, one of the main topics may have been Ukraine's demands on Minsk and Lukashenka's efforts to convince the Kremlin not to involve Belarus more deeply in the conflict. China could have supported this position, as the politician traveled there after visiting Russia.
