Putin Orders To Create ‘Special Centers' For Russian And Belarusian Military

Do they keep secret an official draft agreement?

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian MoD and MFA to accept the government's proposal to create training centers for the Belarusian and Russian military. The order was published on the Russian legal information website.

Russia and Belarus are to sign an agreement on the establishment of military training centers for the joint training of military personnel. Kremlin head Vladimir Putin ordered the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry to accept this proposal.

“To accept the proposal of the Russian Government to sign an agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus on the creation and operation of military training centers for joint training of military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus,” the document reads.

The draft agreement was not released to the public. The military departments of Belarus and Russia have been talking about creating joint military training centers since 2021. Later, the parties announced the creation of such centers in the Hrodna and Nizhny Novgorod regions and in the Kaliningrad region.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that two military training centers for the training of air force and air defence specialists are being created in Belarus. Lukashenka on behalf of Belarus has already approved the draft agreement.

In 2021, Sergei Shoigu announced that there would be two centers in Belarus. One of them will be in Hrodna, the alleged location of the second is unknown.

On October 31, Aliaksandr Lukashenka signed Decree No 387, according to which military training centers for joint training of military personnel of the Armed Forces of Russia and Belarus will appear and operate in Belarus. So far, this is a project, negotiations between representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the two countries will take place on this issue. The Russian government also approved this agreement. It is noteworthy that the document outlined the task of creating the center in this way: unification of the combat training of the armed forces of Belarus and Russia.

Despite the fact that the parties have not yet signed all the necessary documents and have not reached agreements, back in 2021, units of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the Russian Federation arrived in Hrodna to form a combat training center for joint training of the air forces and air defence forces of Belarus and Russia.
