“In recent days, we have made it clear to Belarus that if it allows its territory to be used to attack Ukraine, it will face a swift and decisive response from the United States, our allies and partners,” Price said during a press conference.

He also said that in the event of an escalation, NATO could go to build up the forces of the alliance in the countries bordering Belarus.

Earlier, a representative of the US State Department commented on the concerns of the department regarding the role of Belarus in the escalation of the situation around Ukraine.
