Minsk sees no need for the creation of Russian military bases on its territory. This was stated by the head of state at a meeting with a group of American analysts, which took place this morning in the Belarusian capital.. Despite the fact that Belarus is in military alliance with Russia, on its land "there are still no bases of other states," the Belarusian Telegraph Agency quotes Lukashenko. And they are unlikely to appear in the future.. And this means that the United States should not place its military bases on the territory of Poland, in close proximity to Russia and Belarus. "You as experts not only in the sphere of foreign policy, but also in politico-military issues do not need to explain what any military confrontation between the West and the East can threaten us with. Our country is absolutely not interested in conflicts - neither hot nor frozen.. Neither the neighbors, nor even on their own territory ", said the Belarusian president, addressing overseas guests. Lukashenko recalled that the military doctrine of the republic is exclusively defensive in nature. From the territory of Belarus will never come a threat to neighbors. This is another reason against the deployment of military facilities both within the country and in the territory of neighboring countries.. A delegation of American experts holds a series of meetings with high-ranking officials during a visit to Minsk this week.. It was hosted by the Jamestown Foundation, whose employees are known for their harsh anti-Kremlin statements.. On the eve of analysts from the United States met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, Vladimir Makei. And last week, Lukashenko met with the US Assistant Secretary of State.. During the conversation, the parties expressed hope for the improvement of the Belarusian-American relations. A US official called Belarus "part of the bastion that protects against Russian neo-imperialism". At the same time, the media reported that within a year the American ambassador would return to Minsk.. The issue has already been resolved..

It is not the first time when Lukashenko speaks against the deployment of a US military base in Poland. True, in previous times his statements were made in a less friendly tone.. Last week, he declared that Moscow and Minsk would respond to the deployment of military bases in Poland. “I said to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Yatsek Chaputovich) - he spoke with us in Minsk: we are not going to fight. Therefore, do not create extra databases. Otherwise, we and the Russians will have to answer ", - said the Old Man.
