Alyaksandr Lukashenka and Kolya swimming in sea in Sochi

The Belarusian ruler is having time with Russian singer Valeria and her husband Iosif Prigozhin at the resort.

The Belarusian ruler has been in Sochi for the fifth day. As “Komsomolskaya Pravda v Belarusi” reports, waiting for a meeting with Dmitry Medvedev, Alyaksandr Lukashenka stays in the Grand & Spa Hotel Rodina, owned by oligarch Deripaska.

The Belarusian ruler leads a healthy life at the resort: he swims in a swimming pool and in the sea (there is a private beach in the hotel), plays tennis. He spends his holidays with his younger son Kolya teaching him to play tennis and volleyball.

The spa hotel has a reputation in Sochi for hosting only well-off people – stars, politicians, and businessmen. A star couple, singer Valeria and her husband producer Iosif Prigozhin, are staying in the hotel, too. The Russian stars and the Belarusian ruler have found a common language.

We remind that Alyaksandr Lukashenka flew to Sochi on Friday August 21. On that day, Dmitry Medvedev had a meeting with the president of Moldova and flew away. According to official information, Lukashenka and Medvedev didn’t meet. However, it wasn’t planned: the meeting is scheduled for August 27. The Belarusian ruler surely knew the date of the meeting.

Experts foresee a serious conversation. The countries have a great deal of unsolved questions: the ended “milk war”; Belarus hasn’t recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia, though they were recognized by Russia a year ago. Besides, the Belarusian ruler didn’t sign the Agreement on creation of the Collective Rapid Response Forces that is so important for Russia; and representatives of the European Union and US pay visits to Belarus. No wonder that Lukashenka must get prepared and organize himself for the talks.
