Russian Troops To Stay In Belarus For Indefinite Period

The corresponding decision was made at a meeting between Putin and Lukashenka.

Checking the response forces of the "union state" will continue, said the head of the Belarusian Defense Ministry Viktar Khrenin.

The corresponding decision was made by the rulers of Belarus and Russia, Lukashenka and Putin. As Khrenin clarified, the decision was made "in connection with the increase in military activity near the external borders of the union state and the aggravation of the situation in the Donbas."

"There is a very strong smell of gunpowder in Europe," Lukashenka’s "defense minister" added.
