The Kremlin spokesperson said Russia will always stand with Belarus against any threat, in response to a question about a possible Ukrainian attack on Belarus, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
The Kremlin's latest statement reinforces Moscow's longstanding security commitment to Minsk amid heightened regional tensions. When asked by a reporter how Russia would respond to a hypothetical Ukrainian attack on Belarus, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia 'will always stand by Minsk in the face of any threat,' according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The remark comes as Belarus has served as a staging ground for Russian drone launches into Ukraine, and as the Wall Street Journal recently reported ongoing Russian pressure to expand Belarus's military role. As The Zioneer noted in earlier coverage, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister and Foreign Minister Lavrov have repeatedly emphasized the alliance's readiness to use all available means, including nuclear weapons, to guarantee security. The statement did not specify a concrete trigger or new deployment.
