Upon arrival, Aleksandr Lukashenko first of all asked the Minks Region Governor of how the established weather conditions affect the harvest, “Are [fields] getting dry?” Aleksandr Turchin replied, "Irregularly.”

The President demanded to pay special attention to herbaceous feeds. As he noted, grains could be purchased if necessary, while grass needs to be harvested to the maximum extent.

After his arrival at an enterprise of the military-industrial complex in the Minsk Region, the Head of State immediately asked whether the responsible persons had fulfilled what they promised regarding the establishment of production of domestic ammunition.

"Comrade Commander-in-Chief, in pursuance of your instructions to organise the production of the most used types of ammunition in the Republic of Belarus, we have organised the appropriate work," the Chairman of the State Authority for Military Industry, Dmitry Pantus, reported. According to him, the work began in November 2022, and more than fifty case-mechanical parts for this type of ammunition are being manufactured in accordance with the established procedure at the enterprises of the State Authority for Military Industry and the Industry Ministry at present.
