Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko will discuss Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's threats against Belarus, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, APA's Moscow bureau reports.

According to him, Putin plans to hold talks with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko in the near future.

“This and other issues will provide a good opportunity for discussion. But, of course, these threats are completely aggressive. These threats constitute interference in the internal affairs of another side and an encroachment on its sovereignty. Undoubtedly, the Belarusian leader and Belarus itself are capable of ensuring their sovereignty,” the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.

It should be noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that if the operation of relay systems coordinating Russian drone attacks against Ukraine from Belarusian territory is not stopped, Ukraine will resolve the issue itself within a week.
