Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko plans to meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin after February 20, as he himself said at a meeting with State Secretary of the Union State of Russia and Belarus Grigory Rapota. Indeed, Putin and I agreed a while ago to hold a meeting after February 20 in order to discuss certain cooperation aspects, Lukashenko said, as cited by the Belarusian presidential press service. But I would like to make it clear from the very beginning that, though some in Russia may claim that ‘Lukashenko is coming to ask for $3 billion,’ I’m not going there [to Russia] to ask for anything, TASS cited the Belarusian president as saying.
