Belarus Criticizes Planned US Anti-Missile Sites in Poland, Czech Republic
Belarus' Air Force Chief Igor Azaryonok is warning that the deployment of U.S. missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic will increase military tensions in the region. Igor Azaryonok said Tuesday in Minsk that his country does not have the types of weapons the U.S. missile defense systems are designed to destroy.
Poland lies along Belarus' western border, while the Czech Republic lies further to the southwest. On Monday, a senior Russian military commander warned that Moscow is capable of targeting the proposed missile defense sites in the Czech Republic and Poland. General Nikolai Solovtsov said Russia would be able to start building intermediate and short-range missiles if the Kremlin drops out of an arms treaty with the United States.
