Alyaksandr Lukashenka will meet with Vladimir Putin and attend the CSTO summit. At the same time, negotiations on the war in Ukraine will take place in Abu Dhabi. Putin stated that he wants "coordination of joint efforts" from the CSTO. In addition, the summit may strip Armenia of its voting rights, as it effectively does not participate in the CSTO anyway.
