All signs suggest Russia is on the brink of invading Ukraine, but Washington will use every opportunity until the last minute to see if diplomacy dissuades Moscow from going ahead – US Secretary of State Blinken
The decision to extend the drills was made because of military activity near the borders of Russia and Belarus, the Belarusian defence ministry said.
"Everything we are seeing suggests that this is dead serious, that we are on the brink of an invasion. We will do everything we can to try to prevent it before it happens," Blinken said."But until the tanks are actually rolling, and the planes are flying, we will use every opportunity and every minute we have to see if diplomacy can still dissuade President Putin from carrying this forward," Blinken said.
The decision to extend the drills was made because of military activity near the borders of Russia and Belarus and an escalation of the situation in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine, the Belarusian defence ministry said.
