During a working trip to Minsk Oblast on 13 June, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko was briefed on the establishment of domestic ammunition production, BelTA has learned.

Upon the arrival the head of state firstly asked the Minsk Oblast governor on the influence of the current weather conditions on the future harvest.

“The soil is getting drier, isn't it?” the president asked.

“Unevenly,” Aleksandr Turchin replied.

Aleksandr Lukashenko urged to pay special attention to keep grassy fodder. In his words, it will be possible to buy cereals if such a need arises, but grassy fodder must be prepared in the maximum volume.

After arriving at one of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex in Minsk Oblast the head of state asked if the responsible persons had fulfilled the task on launching the production of domestic ammunition.

“Dear Comrade Commander-in-Chief, your instruction to set up the production of the most in-demand types of ammunition in the Republic of Belarus have been fulfilled,” Chairman of the State Authority for Military Industry Dmitry Pantus said. According to him, the relevant work started in November 2022, and today the enterprises affiliated with the State Authority for Military Industry and the Industry Ministry produce more than 50 parts for this type of ammunition.
