With tensions running high over the war in Ukraine, Poland fears a repeat of the 2021 crisis, when thousands of illegal migrants tried to cross the border with Belarus

"Unfortunately, what we talked about a lot during the past years has come true, it has become a reality. A genuine hybrid war has been waged against all of us. Ukraine is just a pretext.

Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko agreed on the formation of new, joint troops on the border with Ukraine, which allays fears of a land invasion of Kyiv, writes the British Telegraph.
At a meeting with his security chief, Lukashenko confirmed that he had gathered troops with Putin "because of the tension on the Belarusian border with Ukraine."

Looks like Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to involve Belarus in his war against Ukraine.

This year's Nobel Peace Prize goes to the human rights activist Ales Bialiatski from Belarus, the Ukrainian organization Center for Civil Liberties and the Russian "Memorial".

Ales Bialiatski is a Belarusian oppositionist, chairman of the human rights center "Vyasna". He was arrested in July 2020, designated as a political prisoner.

"Structures are being formed in Western countries and Ukraine to overthrow the government in Belarus", said the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko.

The Belarusian army has started military exercises right next to the border with Poland, a day after it was reported from Poland that there is a real fear of the country's conflict with Russia.

Belarus was Russia's main ally in its invasion and allowed Russian troops to enter Ukraine across its border.
"I am convinced that today's contradictions will not be able to destroy the centuries-old foundations of sincere, good-neighborly relations between the peoples of our two countries," Lukashenko said.

Belarusian mothers launched a flash mob to protest against the involvement of Belarusians in the Russian war against Ukraine. They put their children's toys in conspicuous places with paper sheets reading calls to stop the war. 

Meanwhile, self-proclaimed Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko threatens Ukraine to join Russia in the war against Ukraine.

The international rating agency based in London - Fitch Ratings, lowered the long-term rating of the Republic of Belarus from "CCC" to "C". This brings the country one step closer to bankruptcy. This is stated in a message on the agency's official website.
