Moscow has decided to lift all restrictions on flights to and from Belarus, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced following talks with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday, APA reports citing TASS.

"Alexander Grigoryevich [Lukashenko] does not know yet about a decision that a governmental commission has just made not so far from here, in the House of Government. The decision is to lift all coronavirus restrictions on air transportation (between the two countries - TASS)," Putin said.

"Before all the so-called coronavirus restrictions were introduced, we used to have over 200 flights a week - 201 to be precise - and now there are only 36. I don’t think that the number will go back to the pre-pandemic level of over 200 flights in just a couple of days but I believe that the recovery will be fast," Putin noted.
