"The exercises that have been announced and are scheduled to last until the end of January do not pose a threat to us. At the moment, there are no Russian troops, no strike group in sufficient numbers, on the territory of Belarus, because the terrorist country has been gradually bringing them back to its territory as part of the rotation. That is why it is Belarus that continues to escalate the situation, playing along with Russia," the spokesman said.
