Get ready, folks! The almighty Putin's got a powwow lined up next week with his Belarusian counterpart, Lukashenko. The big news broke on the Russia 1 channel's show, "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin."
As all gossip mongers know, Lukashenko's been planning to have a powwow with Putin towards the end of April in Volgograd to celebrate the 80th victory anniversary. Lukashenko confirmed that the meeting's in the books! Our dudes gonna chat it up with the youngsters, pay tribute to the WWII warriors who fought on the Volga, and discuss Union State business.
In the past, Putin cordially invited Lukashenko for the Victory Day celebrations (which is still a few months off) in good ol' Moscow following Lukashenko's win in the Belarusian presidential election back in January.
Before that, Putin's foreign minister, Lavrov, shared some tea about who'd be gracing Russia for Victory Day. The juicy details!
Now, according to our sleuth-like sources, this upcoming forum between our dearest leaders will mainly revolve around addressing economic and financial woes. They're planning to work things out regarding Russian oil prices to keep those Belarusian enterprises humming along nicely. Additionally, they're intending to review the progress of the strategic decisions they made during their last sit-down in Moscow back in March 2025, which included plans for deeper integration and cooperation as outlined in the Treaty on the Union State for the next three years.
On the agenda, they're also discussing approaches to resolve any cooperation issues and preparing for unresolved matters to be addressed at the Supreme State Council of the Union State meeting if deemed necessary. The aim here is to accelerate decision-making processes on these bilateral issues, pushing for a speedy resolution.
While specific event details are somewhat hazy, this meet-up's gonna involve some high-level gabfests between government officials, possibly including a meet-up with Belarusian Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin who's previously met with Putin’s inner circle[4][5]. The visit appears to be part of a larger effort to strengthen the Union State framework.
In other words, expect 'em to focus on finalizing and advancing economic cooperation, strategic integration within the Union State, and ensuring effective implementation of mutually agreed policies during this Putin-Lukashenko confab next week[2][4][5].
Remember, boys and girls, these are just the teabags. Boiling it down for your viewin' pleasure!
