Lukashenko and Putin have announced the organisation of a joint grouping of troops.



The Ministry of Defense of Belarus showed that the Russian military who arrived at the training ground were met with bread and salt. The message says:

Russian servicemen who are part of the regional grouping of troops (forces) arrive in the Republic of Belarus

It should be noted that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that the probability of a repeated invasion by the aggressor from Belarus is low, but in the spring such a threat may increase significantly.

Today, the Lukashenka regime and the Russian Federation are taking part in a joint military operation, where Belarus provides its airspace, materiel, ammunition, most of the armed forces of Belarus are located in the border areas.

In total, as stated in the Kremlin, the joint Russian-Belarusian group will have 9,000 soldiers.

Local media also report that Lukashenka is conducting covert mobilization in the country, and politicians are actively discussing the need to "cut Ukraine off from Western arms supplies."

Lukashenka says he has no intention of sending Belarusians to fight against Ukraine
