The Kremlin said on Monday that there had been no official announcements from Minsk about the health of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko amid speculation that the veteran leader is ill.
Lukashenko has not been seen in public since last Tuesday and did not appear on Sunday at a ceremony in the capital Minsk.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was best to be guided on the subject by official statements from the Belarusian authorities.
