Belarus: NATO pullback will factor into Russian troop withdrawal

The withdrawal of Russian troops from Belarus amid heightened tensions with Ukraine would primarily depend on NATO pulling back its own forces from the region, the head of the Belarusian army said on Monday, according to Reuters.

"The Russian Armed Forces' units will return to their permanent bases only when an objective need for that arises and when we decide," Viktor Gulevich said.

"In no small measure this will also depend on our Western counterparts. The forces and equipment deployed in the eastern European region, including near Belarus ... are one of the factors that influence the development of the situation," he added.

Gulevich said he believes it is within the country's rights to demand the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO member forces from near its borders, including in neighboring countries Poland, Latvia and Lithuania, Reuters noted.

Ukraine can be an honorary NATO member until you and your puppet-pulling Putin back the fuck off.

Placed his flag on sovereign Ukrainian territory. And they have made it clear they want possession of NATO member countries. I think it’s time for 500,000 NATO troops on the Belarus border.
