Russia to put missile defense system in Belarus
As expected, Russia has announced its response to the Missile Shield deal in Poland — redeployment of strategic missile defense in Belarus.
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Belorussian President Alexandr Lukashenko agreed upon the deal during a previously planned visit in Sochi.
The two presidents are expected to meet again in September for the convening of the members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
