"Lukashenka said that Belarusian manufacturers are interested in studying the "competencies and technologies of Chinese companies in the formation of the component base, the production of engines, transmissions, bridges, other units and units".

"Earlier, ISW estimated that China could secretly transfer military equipment or dual-purpose equipment to Russia via Belarus," the ISW said in a statement.

According to analysts, "Lukashenka probably also intends to use these agreements to support his long-standing efforts to increase Chinese economic influence in Belarus in order to insure against Russian integration pressure, although these measures will at best delay Russia's campaign to ensure full economic control over Belarus." .

Alexander Lukashenko said on March 1 during his visit to China that his country fully supports Beijing's initiative to achieve peace in Ukraine.

On February 24, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China presented a plan to settle Russia's war with Ukraine.

The document contains 12 points, which, according to Beijing, will contribute to the end of hostilities.

Among them are the cessation of fire and hostilities, the beginning of peace negotiations, the end of unilateral sanctions, and others.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed skepticism about China's plan, saying Beijing "doesn't deserve much credibility" because it "failed to condemn the illegal invasion of Ukraine."
