Belarus and Russia have agreed on the deployment of a joint group of troops, a potentially significant development in the war in Ukraine.
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said he agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the deployment of a joint regional group of troops, in response to what he called an aggravation of tension on the country's western borders, the state-run Belta news agency reported on Monday.
Lukashenko and Putin warned about a strike on Belarus from the territory of Ukraine.
