MINSK, 16 May (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko thanked Russia for training Belarusian military personnel on equal footing with Russian servicemen as he met with Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov on 16 May, BelTA has learned.
“I am very grateful to you for not just training our military specialists, not just allowing them to participate in training with you, but for treating them as equals to Russian servicemen, not as foreigners. They sit side by side in the classroom, learning the same things. This is very important, and we highly appreciate it because it represents the highest level of trust. After all, this is about security and defense. Russia does not separate itself from Belarus in this regard and has no such interaction with any other country. We truly value this,” the Belarusian leader emphasized.
