The Forum of Regions opened a meeting between the President of Ukraine and the Belarusian dictator. 

This is the first meeting of Aliaksandr Lukashenka and Volodymyr Zelensky. Salidarnasts pointed at a curious moment during the negotiations.

The President of Ukraine started with the words: "Hello, friends!" And, as BelTA writes, in his opening speech he switched from Russian to Ukrainian, noting that heads of state could understand each other:

- Our people are on friendly terms and mentally close. I am proud of our good relations and neighbourhood.
