Fears of Russia's renewed offensive against Ukraine via Belarus continue to loom large. Russia has been holding a flurry of joint military drills with its ally Belarus since October last year. The Russian foreign minister said that drills in Moscow and Minsk are designed to deter "potential opponents from escalation and provocations" and Belarus will only enter the war if Moscow and Minsk are "invaded." Russia's General Oleg Salyukov inspected the Russian forces' accommodation and domestic conditions in Belarus. This comes after the Ukrainian president said that Kyiv must "be ready" at its border with Belarus. Ukrainian forces also held a military drill amid a fresh threat of assault from the north.
