Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday he had ordered troops to deploy with Russian forces near Ukraine in response to what he said was a clear threat to Belarus from Kyiv and its backers in the West.
The remarks from Lukashenko, who has held power in Belarus since 1994, indicate a potential further escalation of the war in Ukraine, possibly with a combined Russian-Belarus joint force in the north of Ukraine.
"Strikes on the territory of Belarus are not just being discussed in Ukraine today, but are also being planned," Lukashenko said at a meeting on security, without providing evidence for the assertion. "Their owners are pushing them to start a war against Belarus to drag us there."
"We have been preparing for this for decades. If necessary, we will respond," Lukashenko said, adding that he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the situation while at a meeting in St Petersburg.
Lukashenko said he had agreed with Putin to deploy a regional military group, and had started pulling forces together two days ago, apparently after an attack on Russia's road and rail bridge to Crimea early on Saturday.
Lukashenko said that a warning was delivered to Belarus through unofficial channels that Ukraine planned "Crimean Bridge 2", though he did not give details.
"My answer was simple: 'Tell the president of Ukraine and the other lunatics: if they touch one metre of our territory then the Crimean Bridge will seem to them like a walk in the park'."

interesting!
Well we know Clinton tried to coerce Orban into attacking Serbia from the north.
That was an amazing piece of work! Color me impressed.
And you’ll continue cheerleading for a comedian who will eventually destroy his own country. As more countries become involved in this conflict, which includes the USA, Britain etc. You expect leaders aligned with putin to not align with russia? Interesting thoughts, until the conflict really hits home for America. Guess the Canadians are safe to armchair quarterback.
Very odd that he mentions the bridge in Crimea, but not the ones along the Ukraine - Belorussian border.

Me and My Shadow
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you’ll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you’ll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we’ve got us
We’re closer than pages that stick in a book (me and my shadow) We’re closer than ripples that play in a brook
Wherever you find him, you’ll find me, just look (strolling down the avenue)
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza me
We’re closer than smog when it clings to L.A. (me and my shadow)
We’re closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
And when it’s sleeping time
That’s when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don’t chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
A happy New Year!
And now to repeat what I said at the start (me and my shadow)
They’ll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We’re alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, we’ll make the town roar
We’ll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We’ll wind up at Jilly’s right after Toot’s Shore
Life is gonna be a we-wow-whee! (Here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me, me, me!
Say Frank?
What is it, Sam?
Would you do me a favor?
What do you want now?
Would you mind just taking it one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!
And while we are swinging to mention a few
We’ll drop in at Danny’s, The Little Club, too
But wind up at Jilly’s, whatever we do (yeah)
Life is gonna be a we-wow-whee! (Wow!)
For my shadow and me, me, me!
Frank?
Oh, forget it Sam
Alright
