“No one ever said that Russian troops would remain on the territory of Belarus, there was no talk of this,” Peskov said.
He stressed that we are talking about allied exercises.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, at the end of these exercises, the troops will return to their permanent locations.
Peskov also said that during the talks between the Russian and French leaders in Moscow, no dates were named when discussing this issue.
Earlier, Peskov said that the topic of the possible deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus at the talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin was raised by French President Emmanuel Macron.
