Belarus immediately North of Ukraine

Belarus' President insists recently announced snap military drills, do not threaten anyone.

Belarus is immediately to the north of Ukrainian territory.

British officials have warned Moscow may try to use those operations, ordered by Minsk, to distract Kyiv's forces.

The Belarussian President, Alexander Lukashenko, has also told the Associated Press that he is the reason peace talks between Ukraine and Russia began.
