China President Xi Jinping and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko sealed a series of agreements to build up an 'all-weather' partnership between their countries against the background of the war in Ukraine
Lukashenko said the meeting was taking place "in a very complicated time" and was necessary to prevent "an uncontrolled descent into a global confrontation which has no winners".
"This is why Belarus has been actively putting forward its peace proposals, and comprehensively supports your incentive on international security," he added. Lukashenko allowed Putin to launch the invasion from Belarusian territory and has let Russia train newly mobilised soldiers at Belarusian bases, while saying he will not enter the war directly unless his country is attacked by Ukraine.
