Journalists at the Palace of Independence slept on the floor

There were no chairs in Lukashenka's residence for journalists awaiting the outcome of the summit in Minsk.

Many of those present drew attention to it. Hundreds of Belarusian and foreign media journalists spent there all night. Many of them were sitting on the floor.

"This marble palace even had no chairs for journalists. What a shame", blogger Rustem Adagamov writes. It should be reminded that for more than 13 hours already the talks of the leaders of Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia on resolving the situation in Donbass continue in Minsk.

In the evening on February 11 Petro Poroshenko, Angela Merkel, François Hollande, and Vladimir Putin arrived to the Palace of Independence. First, it was restricted talks, then they were expanded. After dinner, the heads of States continued their meeting behind the closed doors
