Belarus dictator Alexander Lukashenko announced Russian units would combine with his own and deploy to the Ukraine border, accusing Kyiv of planning to attack with help from allies Poland and Lithuania.

Warsaw has said Polish citizens in Belarus should leave the country as relations between the two countries have become increasingly tense, in part due to the war in Ukraine.

‘We recommend that Polish citizens staying on the territory of the Republic of Belarus leave its territory with available commercial and private means,’ the government said in guidance for travellers published on its website.
