“We agreed with President Putin that in the near future we should jointly conduct exercises on the southern borders, the Belarusian-Ukrainian border,” Lukashenko said.
It is expected that these exercises will take place "in about two stages in the next couple of months," the head of state said.
“The first stage, then a month later - the second stage.
We are still making up these plans, but we will definitely carry out the first stage in the winter, ”Lukashenka said, stressing that“ everything is ready for this ”.
At the end of November, the head of the Belarusian Defense Ministry Viktor Khrenin said that Belarus and Russia are planning a set of measures to cover the southern borders of the republic.
