Security Council of Belarus: the grouping of joint troops is designed to protect the western borders of the union

As BelTA informs, Volfovich noted that “not at all a peaceful policy” comes from the countries neighboring Belarus, in connection with which it was decided to deploy a regional group of troops.

“It has exclusively defensive purposes.

Designed to protect primarily the western borders of the Union State," he said.

Volfovich also stressed that the Russian servicemen note the cordial hospitality of the Belarusian comrades.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus announced the arrival of another echelon with military equipment from Russia to build up the regional Belarusian-Russian group of troops.
