The regional grouping of troops of Russia and Belarus in the event of an escalation in the western direction is ready to defend the borders of the Union State. This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Belarus Viktor Khrenin.
Khrenin noted that Belarus is ready for possible provocations on the border, outlining the measures taken to ensure collective security.
“The regional grouping of troops and forces of Belarus and Russia is ready to deploy and carry out tasks for the armed protection of the Union State,” Khrenin said (quoted by BelTA).
According to him, the US and NATO in the future may use forceful methods “to achieve their goals.” Due to the growing pressure of the West on Russia, the military danger in Belarus is also growing, he believes. The Minister of Defense of the Republic of Belarus also did not rule out attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of the republic from the territory of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine.
At the same time, the Belarusian Defense Ministry noted that they consider it more expedient to resolve all issues through diplomacy, and not “sabre-rattling.”
