[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] The Russian Foreign Minister stated that the military exercises conducted on Russian territory will start and end as planned.

Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, made this remark during a joint press conference after talks with Zbigniew Rau, Polish Foreign Minister, who visited Moscow on the 15th (local time), in response to some units participating in the exercises beginning to withdraw.

Minister Lavrov said, "The joint exercises between Russia and Belarus are proceeding according to schedule, regardless of anyone showing hysteria about this issue."

He raised his voice against Western reports that Russia would soon invade Ukraine, calling them 'information terrorism.'

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the units of the Southern Military District and Western Military District, which had been deployed near the Ukrainian border for the exercises, have finished the training and have begun returning to their garrison bases.

Minister Lavrov said, "Russia will continue to engage in dialogue with the West on security issues," adding, "Separately, we are also willing to discuss intermediate-range nuclear missiles."
