Moscow will regard the military attack on Belarus as an attack on Russia

Moscow will regard any military attack on Belarus as an attack on Russia. This was announced on Sunday by the Russian ambassador to Belarus, Mikhail Babich, in an interview with the Belarus 1 television channel, recalling that the countries have allied relations.
In particular, the ambassador commented on the possibility of creating a permanent American base in Poland, which was discussed by US President Donald Trump and Polish President Andrzej Duda on September 18 in Washington. “Of course, this is an alarming factor, and they should not be neglected,” commented Babich, who tended to militarize the region. “And here is a very important point, I think, it is important for our Belarusian partners and, most importantly, for all who are up to something: an attack on Belarus will be militarily regarded as an attack on Russia with all the ensuing consequences” - he stressed.
He also noted that Russia and Belarus are pursuing a common military policy on this issue, "which guarantees absolute security" of the citizens of both countries. “And in this situation, we are increasing our efforts in an adequately developing environment. We have absolute mutual understanding with our Belarusian partners: we have a regional grouping of troops and forces, and today all the components that are necessary for both defense and retaliation ", - said the ambassador.
According to Babich, plans to increase the US military contingent near the borders of Russia and Belarus do not contribute to the security of neighboring countries. “Because certainly neither for Poland, nor for the neighboring states <...>, where these bases are deployed, such a confrontation will not do any good,” he concluded.
