Putin warns Poland that an attack on Belarus would mean an attack on Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Poland on Friday that an attack on neighboring Belarus would mean an “aggression” against Russia, after Warsaw announced the deployment of military units near the Belarusian border.

During a meeting of the Russian Security Council, Putin described as a “very dangerous game” the alleged plans by Poland and Lithuania to create a grouping of regular forces whose objective would be to “occupy” western Ukraine.
