The Oreshnik missile system will be deployed in Belarus by the end of 2025, and locations for its deployment have already been identified. This was announced on May 28 by the Secretary of State of the Republic's Security Council, Alexander Volfovich.

"These issues have been worked out. The locations of the Oreshnik on the territory of Belarus have already been determined," Sputnik Belarus agency quoted him as saying.
