Russia moves troops to Belarus for joint WAR GAMES amid Ukraine invasion tension

Russia is moving troops to the borders of Ukraine’s northern neighbour Belarus.

The joint military exercises, named United Resolve, are to take place as Russia also assembles forces along Ukraine’s eastern border. Threatening a potential invasion that could unleash the largest conflict in Europe for decades.

Western countries say they fear Russia is preparing a pretext for a new assault on Ukraine after successfully invaded in 2014.

Moscow denies any plans for an attack but has said it could take unspecified military action unless the West agrees to a list of demands, including banning Ukraine from ever joining NATO.

Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has said the drills were needed as Ukraine builds up troops near the Belarus border.

The Sun talked to Franak Viacorka a Belarusian political advisor who slams Lukashenko for allowing Russian troops to amass on the Belarus border.

Talks between Nato and Russia last week ended with no breakthrough. Kyiv has asked Western countries for help.

British military aid including anti-tank weapons arrived in Ukraine on Tuesday to help Kyiv defend itself from a potential invasion.

UK needs to avoid getting involved in this Regional dispute on the opposite side of Europe.
No way we should do the EU's dirty work.

[HALLWILLS]

So, finally Britain got what they want doing arms deal and building military base.

[sedationzone]

that's what you get when west comes too close to Russian borders.. Russia sees it as a threat, therefore you have advances from Russian side. get the hell out and avoid conflict.

[philo]

and all NATO has to do is to state that it will not expand Eastward anymore and this would go away....

[shoutingmuteness]

You said it a thousand times.
"Fears of a conflict increases"
"Tension increases"
"Fears and tension between both"

Yesterday they said that the Russians will invade the south of Ukraine. Today they say that from Belarus, the northern Ukraine.

If something happens, the only thing you will hear is silence.

Anthony "Blinkered" strikes again.

The Russians would have invaded already if they only could have stopped laughing at Andy.

The US timed the Ukraine Invasion Propaganda to coincide with Belarus and Russia military drills. They did the same thing last year and year before that.

[lostinpa-dadenduro]

Seems a lot like the Cuban missile crisis. In that situation the USSR agreed to remove the missiles and we agreed not to invade Cuba. A similar deal could be made here.

Belarus is friends with russia so whats the problem

[occamsrazor]

This is stupid, fighting is basically fighting your own people, so you're telling me Russian Soldiers are okay with killing their own region of human beings in the west that are not wanting any kind of fighting, it's just insane...

[TheStan]

The UK Gov should suggest a party behind closed doors. They can supply a fridge. Russia can bring the vodka and Ukraine is just a buffer zone that the EU does not want to claim.

[callummartin]

Gessss the media might need to replace their war drum soon after the beating they are giving it

[winniepoyser]

WHO IS AFRAID OF UKRAINE INVASION? UKRAINE OR RUSSIA?
