“It is obvious that now in Crimea is not the best time for such trips.
The weather is out of the ordinary, and various climatic anomalies make themselves felt.
But I have no doubts that at the right moment the two presidents will come to an agreement and come to Crimea, ”a Kremlin spokesman told reporters.
He clarified that a specific city is not considered for the trip.
“Of course, a very important statement was made yesterday by President Lukashenko that, in the perception of the Belarusian side, Crimea is de facto and de jure Russian,” Peskov stressed.
Earlier, Lukashenko said in an interview with RIA Novosti that Crimea de facto and de jure became Russian after the 2014 referendum.
He also announced his intention to visit Crimea.
Lukashenko confirmed that his trip to the peninsula would mean the recognition of the republic as part of the Russian Federation.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of the peninsula's residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
