"We placed an emphasis on the Ukrainian (border) section and what we are going to do there. You see, NATO troops are being pulled to Ukraine. They are actually creating bases there under the guise of training centers. The United States is creating bases in Ukraine, and we certainly need to react to this ... The Russian president and I have held and are holding consultations on this issue, we agreed that some action should be implemented," Lukashenko said at a meeting with security officials, as quoted by the state-run news agency Belta.

According to the president, Belarus and Russia would otherwise risk seeing an unacceptable situation on the border, "up to missile deployment."
