Story Code : 945980
Belarus itself can quickly mobilize "500,000" troops at the right moment, "apart from territorial personnel" (the Belarusian territorial defense forces) "and this is already considerable power," the Belarusian president noted.
"If this is not enough, all the armed forces of the Russian Federation will be introduced here. If necessary, and we won’t hesitate," he vowed, the Tass news agency reported.
The Belarusian leader emphasized, however, that "there is absolutely no need for this today."
"When things were thein August last year, when someone balked, sold out or hid under the covers or someone was at their wits end, I did not introduce any armed forces, either from Russia, or Ukraine or any other country. We tackled this misfortune on our own. This is my position," the Belarusian leader said.
