Belarusian-Russian military cooperation

Russian Ambassador to Belarus Mikhail Babich comments on US plans to deploy a base in Poland.

Belarus may refuse from hosting the Russian military radars or prolong the existing rental agreement in 2020.

The 1995 Belarus-Russia deal on the lease of land for a Navy communication center and an air defense radar will expire in 2020.

Foreign Minister Makei says Minsk is ready to revise its stance and allow a Russian base in response to a US base in Poland.

The Russian ambassador in Minsk comments on reports that Russian troops ‘practiced to occupy Belarus during the West-2017 drills.

The last echelon has departed from Barysau railway station.

Russian military equipment from the Asipovicy firing ground in Belarus was loaded onto train platforms at Viarejka station.

Lukashenka and Putin eventually attended the drills in their own countries contrary to the initial plans of a joint show-up.

The Lithuanian authorities’ statement is ‘politicized’, Moscow thinks.
