Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, held phone talks with the leaders of the Member States of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Putin and the Belarusian leader Aleksandr Lukashenko discussed in detail the results of negotiations with the US Special Envoy Steven Witkoff, and the preparations for a meeting with the US President to resolve the situation in the region.
