Russia and Belarus are strengthening and will continue to strengthen their cooperation in the fields of defense and security, Russian leader Vladimir Putin has said. The President of the Russian Federation also added that cooperation in the military-technical sphere will continue to develop, which meets the fundamental interests of both states.
“It is really important, given the difficult international situation, that it is today,” Putin concluded.
In addition, the President asks the Security Council of the Russian Federation to settle all issues of cooperation with Belarus in the field of defense and security and to extend all agreements. Putin also said that the preparation of the Union State Security Concept of Russia and Belarus has begun, and Moscow and Minsk will focus on the Union State Security System.
Lukashenka, in turn, supported funding from the general budget of the Union for a project to help students in Donbass.
Earlier, Lukashenka had urged gathering all nuclear weapons “into one heap” and destroying them.
