Russian Ambassador to Belarus Alexander Surikov has commented on reports about Russian soldiers practicing to seize our country during the West-2017. Belarusian soldiers regularly take part in military exercises in Russia but ‘nobody seizes anyone there and is not going to do it’, Surikov said.

Alexander Surikov has refuted reports about Russian soldiers still staying in Belarus after the West-2017. All of them have already returned to the Russian Federation, he noted.
