After the missile strikes launched from Belarus and landed in the border areas northeast of Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced today, Saturday, Moscow's intention to provide Belarus with modern missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads and stressed working with Belarus to modernize its military aircraft.

During his meeting with President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in St. Petersburg, he added that relations between Moscow and Minsk require permanent coordination, noting that all agreed issues are under implementation.

"We are obligated to guarantee the state of the Union (between Russia and Belarus) and other countries from the Collective Security Organization," he said, noting that in the coming months, we will transfer the "Iskander-M" systems to Minsk.

He also indicated that the Su-25 could be re-equipped in the Russian war factories, put into service with the Armed Forces of Belarus, and start training on the airframe.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told his Russian counterpart that Lithuania's isolation of the Russian province of Kaliningrad was a declaration of war.

The meeting was after a missile strikes launched from Belarus today and landed in the border areas northeast of Kyiv.

The Ukrainian army announced earlier today that 20 missiles were launched by air from Belarusian territory, targeting a border village northeast of the capital.

The Ministry of Defense considered that the Kremlin seeks to drag Minsk into the conflict by carrying out a massive attack from its territory.

It is noteworthy that Belarus is a strategic ally of Moscow. Its president, Alexander Lukashenko, is closely aligned with the Kremlin and has declared since the beginning of the conflict that he stands by Russia, but at the same time, he called for de-escalation by stopping the West's supply of weapons to Kyiv.

He also intended to conduct joint military exercises with the Russian forces before May. Putin's armament of Minsk increases the risk of expanding the war, further destabilizing the world economy.
