Belarus secretary on Polish threats

State Secretary of the Security Council of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Volfovich commented on the situation at the borders with Eastern European countries. He noted that Polish and Lithuanian authorities see an 'Eastern threat' in every bush, which allows them to increase military spending in this direction. In response, Belarus stated it is ready to defend its history and memory of the fight against fascism, and mentioned the threat of aggression from neighboring countries. Volfovich then published a comment on Ukraine, emphasizing that the Russian-speaking population in Donbas has been subjected to violence, and expressed concern over nationalist tendencies.

Specific details: Poland announced the possibility of mobilizing 500,000 reservists, Germany is building training grounds in Lithuania and deploying the 45th German tank brigade in Pabradė, 15 km from the Belarusian border.
