Kremlin press service: issues of military-technical cooperation (including the creation of a Russian air base in Belarus) are discussed with the Belarusian side
61
A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the question of whether or not a Russian military airbase will be created in Belarus. Recall that a few days before the presidential elections in Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko declared that there could be no Russian air base in the country, that only Russian planes were needed for Belarus, and experienced and professional pilots “had enough of them”.
Information Agency TASS leads Dmitry Peskov's statement:
We have a rather extensive agenda (with Belarus) connected with military-technical cooperation, with interaction in the field of security and defense. In the context of allied relations, these issues will be discussed in one form or another. So far I can not say anything more concrete.
In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Ministry of Defense and the Russian Foreign Ministry to discuss the creation of a Russian aviation military base and sign an agreement after such a discussion.
The Belarusian authorities have not yet commented on the negotiation process with their Russian colleagues.
On the eve of the President of Belarus, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko visited the 120-th separate mechanized brigade and got acquainted with the upgraded weapons. A photo of A. Lukashenko from the time of the officer service was found in the brigade’s museum. News agency reporting BelTA:
