Lukashenko threatens joint military response to neighbors

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has threatened Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine with a joint Belarusian-Russian military response if they commit "aggression" against Belarus. The warning escalates Lukashenko's previous statements on defending the country by all possible means. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported observing increased Belarusian military activity near the Ukrainian border. The combined statements indicate rising regional tensions and a potential expansion of the Russia-Belarus military alliance's defensive posture.
