Mr Lukashenko has accused Ukraine of deploying troops near the border with Belarus
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has said that Ukraine is deploying troops near the Belarusian border.
He added that Poland and the Baltic states had deployed more than 30.000 troops near the border with Belarus. According to Lukashenko, there are between 8.000 and 10.000 US troops on the territory of Poland and the Baltic states.
- What are the Americans looking for here? Why don't you and Russia accuse us of doing maneuvers, exercises, etc., when you came through nine countries in the tenth. "What are you going to do here?" Lukashevko asked during a meeting on joint operational exercises between Belarus and Russia.
According to him, Poland has asked NATO to deploy a multi-layered system of logistical and technical assistance in the region, and the main question to be answered is "why?"
