“I would like to emphasize once again that currently there is no talk of using this reserve. The President also emphasized in every possible way that we were talking only about an extreme situation, about a situation when extremist elements would go over to direct destabilization. But now we see that the state of affairs is under control, and therefore now there is no point in talking about it, ”Peskov said.
Earlier, Peskov said that there is no exact date for the meeting of Russian leader Vladimir Putin and President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow yet.
The Kremlin press service reported that Putin and Lukashenko during a telephone conversation agreed to hold a meeting in Moscow in the coming weeks.
On August 27, Putin said that at the request of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, he formed a reserve of law enforcement officers to help the republic if necessary.
As the head of state emphasized, Russian forces will not be used until the extremist elements cross certain borders.
The coordination council of the Belarusian opposition called the formation of a reserve unacceptable.
