By tradition, the Russian president entered the ice at number 11, and Lukashenko at number one.

Before the game, its participants had a warm-up.

It is noted that during the warm-up Lukashenko made several shots in the direction of the journalists.

In February 2019, Putin and Lukashenko also played hockey during the three-day talks in Sochi.

Earlier, Putin told how negotiations with Lukashenko are held in Sochi.
