Belarus has started supplying "critically important electronic components" to Russia, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said on Friday.

“We have already begun supplying a number of components for Russian enterprises," Lukashenko said during his visit to Planar which produces microelectronic components.

He said the two countries made a list of components that will be produced at Belarusian facilities.

Lukashenko added that the project is being implemented under an agreement aimed to reduce dependence on foreign supplies.
