Belarus and Russia will create a joint regional military group.
On October 10, during a security conference in Minsk, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said, "In connection with the aggravation of the situation in the western borders of the Union State, we have agreed on expanding the regional grouping of Russia and Belarus. Suppose the threat level reaches the level that it is now. In that case, we start to launch the grouping of the Union State,"
