The “military version” of the negotiations between Lukashenko and Putin in Sochi was confirmed
Those who suggested that the main topic of the “mysterious meeting” of the presidents of the Russian Federation and Belarus in Sochi were security and defense issues were right.
Alexander Lukashenko made this clear today, holding a meeting with security officials and the Prime Minister, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Old Man said that the meeting is being held within the framework of agreements with Vladimir Putin in Sochi.
“First of all, the Minister of Defense, the Secretary of State. We have identified these issues. A lot has been written about this meeting. Unfortunately, 70 percent are lies and fabrications,” Lukashenko said.
He emphasized that Russia and Belarus will coordinate defense policy “on the topic of the day” and foreign policy.
“We will work within the framework of our allied group and joint air defense. This is sacred for modern warfare, if God forbid, this is the main thing. I want you, the military, to keep in mind that this is what we will be working on. Still, Russia is the second or first army in the world. And the most modern weapons. We do not have the latest in our arsenal. We must build a system in such a way that our guys can learn the very methods of warfare and defense. We could fly, shoot, armored vehicles, automobiles, airplanes - we must master them together with the Russian Federation. This direction was enthusiastically supported by the Russian President,” Lukashenko said.
He also spoke about cooperation between enterprises of the military-industrial complex, including Integral, aviation, and armored vehicles.
“These factories of ours are in demand there. Let's, I say, cooperate. The President of Russia said that this was very interesting for them. Therefore, both the government, the State Secretariat, and the Ministry of Defense need to be more active in this direction,” Lukashenko said.
He is also ready to spend the rest of the loan allocated by the Russian Federation for the construction of the BelNPP for military needs, in particular, for the purchase of aircraft in Russia.
“I tell Putin in a friendly way: if I save, then you will leave this loan in Belarus for other needs. Let's say for the military. If this does not strain the Russian economy, we will use the remainder of this loan, including for military needs. Maybe for the purchase of aircraft and more modern equipment. There was no rejection,” Lukashenko said.
There was also, according to him, an exchange of documents through the intelligence services.
