Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said that he has agreed with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to engage a joint group of forces in the event of the emergence of a military threat on the western border of Belarus.

"He [Putin] and I have agreed. We will deal with this problem. But if they make a move abroad, we should engage the joint group of forces, whose core is the Belarusian army. The Russians are due to support and follow us," the Belarusian state-run news agency BelTA quoted Lukashenko as saying.
