Volfovich confirms Oreshnik missile system is headed for Belarus

On the sidelines of the CSTO summit in Bishkek, State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Aleksandr Volfovich assured reporters that the joint decision by the Belarusian and Russian presidents to supply the Oreshnik missile system is on track to be fulfilled as scheduled, BelTA has learned.

When asked by journalists if the Oreshnik missile system is being deployed to Belarus, Aleksandr Volfovich stated: “Absolutely! After all, presidents don’t make arbitrary decisions. The decisions of the presidents of Belarus and Russia are not subject to debate. Therefore, everything is proceeding according to plan, and this task will be fully completed by the end of the year.”

“I have recently reported this to the head of state. He exercises strict personal oversight, and we have no right to fail in its implementation. We have no other option,” the state secretary emphasized.

As BelTA previously reported, at the Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security on 31 October, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko confirmed plans to place the Oreshnik missile system on combat duty in December.
