Lukashenko also said that the two countries had already started pulling forces together two days ago, as the explosion on Russia’s bridge to Crimea made a big impact. Russian forces used locations in Belarus as a staging area for their invasion of Ukraine on February 24. From these bases, they sent troops and materiel into northern Ukraine.
