> Russian Ambassador to Belarus Boris Gryzlov said NATO’s eastward expansion, military buildup near the Union State’s borders and breaches of arms-control agreements have increased threats to its western borders. He said additional measures are strengthening the shared defense and security space, including a regional battlegroup, joint air patrols and a unified regional air-defense system.
