Putin Hails ‘Friend’ Lukashenko’s Election Win| Oreshnik Ballistic Missiles to Reach Belarus Soon

Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on his overwhelming re-election victory, securing 86.82% of the vote.

Putin praised Lukashenko’s leadership and public support, emphasizing the continued strength of Russia-Belarus relations, particularly within the Union State.

The election ensures Lukashenko's hold on power until 2030.

Amid this, both nations are advancing their military cooperation, with plans for the deployment of Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missiles in Belarus by 2025.

This development follows a 2024 security treaty between Russia and Belarus, further cementing their strategic partnership amid rising tensions with the West.
