“There is a whole range of allied obligations between Russia and Belarus, so there really are many mutual obligations that compensate for the absence of such a base or base ... But at the moment there is no discussion,” said a representative of the Kremlin.
Earlier, the Belarusian Foreign Minister said that in the deployment of a Russian military base on the territory of the country "there is no practical, political or military meaning."
At the end of September, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Minsk’s refusal to deploy a Russian military base as an “unpleasant episode”.
