The White House expressed concern about the exercises of Russia and Belarus

“Of course, this worries us,” Psaki answered the corresponding question during the briefing.

She noted that the United States views the move as "more of an escalation rather than a de-escalation."

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, announced that the head of state Vladimir Putin had no plans to visit the exercises of Russia and Belarus "Allied Resolve".

Russia's Permanent Representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov recalled that joint exercises between Russia and Belarus should not cause concern.
