MOSCOW (Reuters) – Belarusian Defence Minister Viktor Khrenin said on Friday that Belarus was being forced to come up with a military response to NATO activities near its borders, the Interfax news agency reported.
Tensions have risen in Belarus where the government has accused foreign powers of meddling in the country after a disputed presidential election last month that sparked mass protests.
