"The armed capture of the regional center on the territory of Belarus as a springboard for the further development of the offensive operation - for this, from 100 to 300 militants were trained by foreign intelligence services on the territory of Ukraine," RIA Novosti quotes Tertel's words on the air of the Belarus 1 TV channel.

He noted that the training of militants is carried out not only on the territory of Ukraine, but also in Poland and Lithuania.

As Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said earlier, Russia and Belarus agreed to deploy a joint regional group of troops.

Lukashenka instructed to receive and deploy the Russian military in Belarus.
