ussian President Vladimir Putin has scheduled an operational meeting with members of the Russian Security Council, as rumors swirl that Russia and Belarus are moving toward a unification process.
"On Friday, the president will hold an operational meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council in the middle of the day or in the afternoon—it will depend on other events," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by Russia's state-run news agency TASS as saying.

Russian political scientist and publicist Andrei Piontkovsky said in an interview with TSN.ua that Putin may, during Friday's meeting, sign a "pact to unite" Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
Piontkovsky said he believes that Putin will use former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to sign such a document.
Yanukovych fled to Russia in 2014, the year Putin annexed Crimea from Ukraine. On March 2, just days after the war began, Ukrayinska Pravda cited a Ukrainian intelligence official as saying that Yanukovych was in Belarus, waiting to be declared Ukraine's new president should Putin seize the capital Kyiv.
"An idiotic scenario, but it may become a reality...Yanukovych's corpse will be brought from somewhere. And then the three great Slavic presidents—Putin, Lukashenko and Yanukovych—will sign a pact on the unification of the three great Slavic states," Piontkovsky said, without providing evidence for his claims.
Putin said during a bilateral forum in the Belarusian city of Grodno on July 1 that the Western response to his war in Ukraine is pushing Russia and Belarus toward unification.

Rumor is Putin’s going to run for Biden’s office. He can’t do any worse.
Waiting for the Putin Puffers to respond with the approved script..lol
Absolutely unacceptable for Russia to expand to the borders of NATO members Poland and Lithuania! In light of its actions in Ukraine NATO will consider such advance as a belligerent and hostile action against the alliance.
“We’re putting the band back together!”
I know Lithuanians that identify as Russian
:)
“Absolutely unacceptable for Russia to expand to the borders of NATO members Poland and Lithuania!”
Look at a map. Russia already borders Poland and Lithuania. Kaliningrad is Russia.
Lol
I thought 500,000 of his generals have died in Ukraine in the last five months or so.
According to the Daily Mail it’s over a million now
These two ARE hemorrhoids on the world’s bum.
And who cares if two of the world’s biggest shytholes unify? Go for it! You’ll still be nothing after you do.
Let’s be honest here. Belarus is not interested in unifying with Russia. Russia is planning to invade Belarus.
Which is why it was wise of Lukashenko to hold back his forces from invading Ukraine. He knew he’d eventually need his military to defend Belarus when Tsar Pidor Putin turned his imperial ambitions towards Minsk.
L O L if it’s good for the United States in the West to make them NATO members then why isn’t it Good for Russia to do the same? Boy talk about hypocrisy. It was NATO’s movements towards Russia that caused this war to begin with
Will the Belarus people have any say in this?
I did not think so.
Ya, but these two are holding Europe hostage because of their stupidity. Strangled by a gasoline hose.
