Russian President Vladimir Putin is taking part in a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council via videoconference from Moscow.

It is expected that the Russian president will be joined by the heads of other countries in the Eurasian Economic Union - President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, head of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov and Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan will take part in the event via video link.

The leaders of two observer states will also take part, as was announced earlier: the presidents of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel.

Zhaparov will chair the summit, since the chairmanship of the EAEU in 2022 passed to Kyrgyzstan.
