Belarusian parliament ratifies security treaty with Russia

February 26, Pozirk. Both houses of the Belarusian National Assembly have ratified a security guarantees treaty with Russia on the same day as it was approved by Russia’s Federation Council.
Alaksandar Łukašenka and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the deal in early December 2024. It provides for defending the Union State territory and border with “all available forces and means,” including the use of Russian tactical nuclear weapons stationed in Belarus.
Łukašenka and his officials openly support the Russian war against Ukraine. Minsk claims peaceful intentions and denies the Belarusian army’s involvement in combat operations but allowed Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplied arms to the Kremlin.
Earlier this year, Łukašenka told journalists he did not regret allowing Russian troops to march through Belarus into Ukraine in February 2022.
