Belarusian Defense Minister: Russia and I are ready to defend the borders of the Union State 
Belarus is ready to ensure its security together with Russia Victor Khrenin. This is reported by Interfax.
“The created system of response to any threats and challenges allows us to ensure the country's security, including, if necessary, with our main strategic ally – the Russian Federation,” Khrenin said. “We are ready to defend the borders of the Union State and as soon as possible create the necessary grouping of troops in any direction.”
According to him, military activity near the western borders of Belarus “in terms of strength, means and scale is in no way connected with the migration crisis “. The Defense Minister accused Poland of striving to unleash the conflict and draw Europe into it.
“I would like to warn the hotheads not to overestimate their capabilities – the language of ultimatums, threats and blackmail is unacceptable. The armed forces of Belarus are ready to respond harshly to any attacks, “Khrenin added.
In early November, refugees from the Middle East gathered on the border of Belarus with Poland and Lithuania, trying to get into the European Union. The West accuses Minsk of organizing the migration crisis.
The Russian Defense Ministry has published a video of the flight of two Tu-22M3 missile-carrying bombers over Belarus. They checked the actions of the calculations of the unified air defense system of the Union State.
In addition, Russian and Belarusian paratroopers landed at the Gozhsky training ground in the Grodno region as part of an inspection of the Union State's response forces. The exercises involved Russian Il-76 aircraft and helicopters of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces of Belarus.
