Also, the Russian President suggested that Lukashenka make efforts to restore trade. Putin noted that all over the world between countries there is a decrease in trade turnover due to the spread of coronavirus.
“But in this regard, I think we need to make additional efforts, not only to restore the previous pre-crisis level of trade and economic relations, but also to create prerequisites for moving forward,” the Russian president said.
