Lukašenka : "No Need For "Russian" Military Base In Belarus, Praises U.S. Role In Europe "
Lukašenka : "No Need For "Russian" Military Base In Belarus, Praises U.S. Role In Europe "
new its very clear who is who in eastern Europe, Who is Lukašenka what he is doing. Muscovy is a hate object for everyone in the civilized world , isolated, poor, marginalized . what it (Muscovy) is gonna do new ? are Muscovites ready for the war number 5?
"Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka has said that the U.S. "military and political role" in Europe is crucial to regional security and emphasized that he does not want a Russian military base in his country.
Lukashenka, who frequently mixes praise and criticism of both the West and Belarus's giant eastern neighbor, Russia, was speaking to a group of U.S. experts and analysts in Minsk on November 6.
"The Belarusian armed forces are capable of providing security and performing their duties much better than any other country, including the Russian Federation," Lukashenka said.
"That is why today I see no need to invite some other countries, including Russia, to the territory of Belarus, to perform our duties. That is why we are absolutely against having foreign military bases, especially military air bases," he said.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced plans to station warplanes in Belarus in 2013, but they have not been deployed and the issue remains under discussion.
In January 2018, media reports in Russia and Belarus said that a Russian Air Force regiment that Moscow had planned to station in Belarus would instead be located in Russia's western exclave of Kaliningrad.
Lukashenka told his audience that Belarus was "a European country" that is interested in "a strong and united Europe," adding that Europe today is "a major pillar of our planet." https://www.rferl.org/a/lukashenka-...arus-praises-u-s-role-in-europe/29585291.html
