After the Russian-Belarusian military exercises, not a single piece of Russian military equipment will remain on the territory of Belarus .

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Vladimir Makei, BelTA informs .

“Not a single soldier, not a single piece of military equipment (ed. – Russian Armed Forces) will remain after these exercises,” Makei said.

According to Makei, Belarus and Russia are “quite reasonably conducting joint exercises,” since NATO units are active in the West, in particular, in countries neighboring Belarus.

As UNIAN reported earlier, on February 10, the Russian-Belarusian military exercises “Allied Resolve-2022” began in Belarus, which will last until February 20. Before that, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Russia, under the pretext of exercises, had deployed the largest number of forces to Belarus since the Cold War.
