The dictator promised to discuss "one and a half issues" with him.

Alexander Lukashenko met with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin in Moscow in the evening on May 8. He promised to discuss with him "one and a half issues" in bilateral relations and commented on the small number of foreign guests who agreed to come to the Russian capital for the festivities on May 9, reports the dictator's press service.

- Here I thought today too: probably one and a half issues we'll discuss with you. And the rest is our Great Victory. Thank you for inviting me," Lukashenko said.

Commenting on the upcoming events on May 9, he admitted that it is "simply ugly and disgusting, frankly speaking, when you watch some of our 'comrades' who have decided not only to forget, but to throw this Victory under their feet".

- I am grateful to you for the fact that you constantly invite me to participate in this great event. Once upon a time our ancestors marched very brightly through Red Square in hard times and went to the front with the first parade. I am proud of this. I know that you also appreciate and are proud of it. That is why the time will come when people will ask us to come here and stay in this square. Well, and today time has shown who is who," said Lukashenko.

The Kremlin earlier published a list of foreign delegations that will come to Moscow on May 9. In addition to Lukashenko, representatives of self-proclaimed Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as Laos, Malaysia, Slovakia and Republika Srpska are expected.
