Lukashenko said military risks were rising along the CSTO’s borders, especially in the west, comparing Belarus’ situation to a “besieged fortress.” He noted NATO defence spending had hit $1.6T in 2025, with Germany boosting its ambitions and Poland set to spend nearly $55B in 2026 while expanding its forces past 200,000 troops. He said the Baltics were also rapidly increasing defence budgets — arguing Western leaders were deliberately preparing for war. #Lukashenko #Belarus #CSTO #NATO #Geopolitics #Security #DefenseSpending
