Russia moves troops to Belarus for drills amid Ukraine tensions
January 19, 2022 - Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of Russia in Geneva on Friday as the U.S. warns that Russia could soon invade neighbouring Ukraine.
Russia on Tuesday began moving troops and equipment to Belarus for joint military exercises, adding to concerns in the west over a possible plan by Moscow to attack Ukraine.
The exercises, known as Allied Resolve 2022, coincide with a recent buildup of Russian forces on Ukraine’s eastern border.
