Belarusian Disciplinary Battalion not to be liquidated

Nobody is going to liquidate the Belarusian Disciplinary Battalion now. The deputy head of the General Staff of the Belarusian Army lieutenant-general Syarhei Hurulyou has informed about it. According to him, form 40 to 80 soldiers serve their sentence in this battalion dislocated in Minsk every year. There used to be 500 soldiers per year in the 1990s.
