Russian press

Rossijskaya Gazeta (propaganda media) reports that in Minsk Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Bryansk Oblast governor Yegor Kovalchuk, and that the Kaluga Oblast is preparing a visit by a delegation from the Gomel Oblast; according to this message, Kremlin propaganda presents the regions of central Russia and Belarus as partners developing joint projects, including in construction and machine building, with the goal of trade turnover of one billion dollars.
