“Honestly, the negotiations that were a month earlier in Sochi and the negotiations that were a few days ago in St. Petersburg, from our point of view, indicate the opposite,” said Peskov.
He added that very substantive issues are currently being discussed. The representative of the Kremlin recalled that the governments of Russia and Belarus did a titanic work to agree on a whole package of roadmaps regarding progress in the integration of the two countries and the strengthening of the Union State.
According to him, there are uncoordinated issues, but this does not indicate that Moscow and Minsk are “in some kind of crisis”.
“It is clear that contacts will continue, and it is clear that the level of integration is now so high and the countries are so closely connected with each other that some roughness, of course, is inevitable and will remain,” Peskov said, noting that “ the general background does not spoil it. ”
Earlier, Lukashenko, in an interview with Ekho Moskvy radio station, said that Russia and Belarus, after so many years, “are on this road.” He added that "this should not have been."
