> Russian diplomat Mikhail Galuzin warned Ukraine against carrying out any provocations against Belarus. He reiterated that the Russia-Belarus Agreement on Security Guarantees contains an “obvious mechanism for joint response.” Under that arrangement, actions regarded as threats to a member of the Union State would prompt a coordinated response, according to Galuzin. His remarks frame the agreement as a direct security mechanism for both countries.
