⚡Additional Russian military equipment arriving to Belarus today.

The number of Russian soldiers in Belarus is expected to increase to 30 000 in the coming days.

For those who don't have a map: Belarus directly borders on the EU and NATO (shares a border with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland). One wonders how Moscow would react if NATO were to send 30k soldiers to any of those countries.
