MINSK, 18 May (BelTA) – Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov has explained on the air of the TV channel Belarus One why he had come to Belarus at the height of Russia-Ukraine talks, BelTA has learned.

Although a Russian delegation and a Ukrainian one were in negotiations in Istanbul, the Russian defense minister was in Belarus on a visit. “Our relations with Belarus are unshakeable and stay outside time.
