Lukashenko to meet with Putin soon, to discuss PMC Wagner among other things

MINSK, 6 July (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko intends to meet with President of Russia Vladimir Putin soon. The Belarusian head of state mentioned it during a meeting with reporters of foreign and Belarusian mass media, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “I don’t think there will be any problems with PMC Wagner working in interests of Russia. One should not lose such a unit despite all the subtle details. Certainly, there are a lot of complaints: people have died and so on, many more people could have died. Moreover, one must not lose fighters of such a unit. There are about 20 heroes of Russia over there. I wish the entire army fought as well as these guys. But these are problems of the Russian Federation and President Putin.”

“He and I have agreed to meet soon. I think we will discuss this problem, too, since we have been involved in its resolution. And we will discuss matters of future operation of PMC Wagner. I think it is the simplest problem that will be resolved and is being resolved,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
