MINSK. Dec 14 (Interfax) - Russia can have two bases in Belarus for free, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told Russian journalists in Minsk on Friday.
"We have two Russian bases [military sites] here; they are paying us zero rubles and zero kopecks. The [lease] period is expiring. We are holding talks, and I'm not even mentioning any payment," Lukashenko said.
