MINSK (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th October, 2022) Air force troops that are part of the joint regional military group have begun to arrive in Belarus from Russia, the Belarusian Defense Ministry said on Sunday.

"The air force part of the regional grouping of troops started arriving in the Republic of Belarus from the Russian Federation," the ministry said.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday that opening a front line against Belarus by Kiev is insane from a military point of view, but the process has begun.

Lukashenko added that Russia and Belarus had agreed to create a joint troop formation.
