“The rapprochement has begun, and I think that Lukashenka will visit Moscow in the near future.
I think there will be questions, including questions about integration.
If yesterday Lukashenka declared that he and Russia have a united army, then what else is there to talk about? "
- said the diplomat.
According to him, the Ukrainian side is concerned about how deeply the integration will go.
“Because earlier we at least understood, and these were verbal guarantees from Belarus that our border would remain peaceful.
But how the situation will develop further against the background of rapprochement between Belarus and Russia - this raises questions, ”he added.
Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that a weakened Belarus would be "easy prey" for Russia.
As noted in the Kremlin, the topic of the merger or takeover of Belarus by Russia will not be discussed during the visit of the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko to Moscow.
It is expected that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lukashenko will discuss trade and economic issues, including the restructuring of the state debt of Belarus.
