Earlier, on Monday, October 10, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated that Kiev is making a grave mistake by opening a military front line against Belarus.

Lukashenko also accused the NATO chief of pushing Kiev to attack Minsk. He also noted his knowledge of some European countries' intention to also attack Belarus.

Earlier, on October 10, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko agreed on the deployment of a joint regional group of forces in light of recent developments in Ukraine.

The Belta News Agency revealed this major turn of tides by citing official sources from Minsk: "In connection with the aggravation of the situation on the western borders of the Union State, we agreed to deploy a regional grouping of forces from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. This complies with our documents. They say that if the threat reaches the level it has now, we begin to use the Union State grouping of forces." 

According to Lukashenko, the Belarusian Army constitutes the basis or majority of this formation.
