Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov is in Minsk, Belarus today for a Russia-Belarus Defense Ministry Board session, reported TASS. He remarked, “Today, we continue to actively strengthen military cooperation between our countries. This is especially important given the open pressure from the collective West and NATO’s hostile activities near the borders of the Union State” of Russia and Belarus.
The Belarus Defense Ministry issued a report following the joint Ministry Board session, from which TASS quoted today: “Today, we have enacted a new plan for bilateral cooperation, which includes over 160 joint events. The board members discussed military-technical cooperation and the execution of the Union State programs,” stated Belarus Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin in his remarks. “Furthermore, a plan for the Zapad 2025 joint military drills of Belarusian and Russian forces has been agreed upon.”
