Russian soldiers are flooding into Belarus ‘by the trainload’, according to reports, after dictator Alexander Lukashenko announced he will deploy a ‘joint military task force’ with Moscow on his country’s western border.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has said that it is strengthening its northern border with Belarus amid fears Russia is trying to draw its ally into Vladimir Putin’s on-going war.
Lukashenko said the task force with Russia was in response to a clear threat to Belarus from Kyiv and its backers in the West, baselessly claiming Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine were training Belarusian ‘radicals’ for terror attacks.
The two countries reportedly began combining some of their military forces shortly after the explosion on the Kerch Bridge joining Russian-occupied Crimea to the Russian mainland, according to Lukashenko.
