What is up with that -- would it not be wiser to have Turchynov visit Poland or some other NATO country first?
In some ways this is another slap at Putin because traditionally all Presidents & Prime Ministers of Ukraine all visit Russia as their first foreign visits and always in the first 1-2 weeks (never any time to settle down either)

More from our news desk on Ukrainian acting President Oleksandr Turchynov meeting in Belarus with President Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
The Belarusian president's office said the two met at Lukashenka's residence in the village of Lyaskovichi, near the Ukrainian border.
The statement did not provide any further details.
Lukashenka said Friday in an interview on Ukrainian TV that he planned to meeting with Turchynov in the near future.
Lukashenka said in the interview "we are neighbors" and "the most important thing is the people of Ukraine and the people of Belarus."
He added, "One has to speak to the devil if necessary to prevent things from getting worse."
Belarus was one of 11 countries, along with Russia, that on Thursday voted against a non-binding UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula earlier this month.
