BELARUSIAN President Alexander Lukashenko has warned of increased militarisation on the country’s borders and is blaming foreign forces for creating a humanitarian crisis.

After meeting top officials from Belarus’s security, defence and law enforcement agencies on Monday, he accused Ukraine of establishing military camps harbouring opposition figures who are being prepared to return to Belarus to overthrow the government.

And Mr Lukashenko said that most of the troops gathered on the country’s border, particularly those in Poland, were from the United States.
