Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarusian president, have agreed to form a joint group of troops on the Ukrainian border, amid fears of a new ground invasion of Kyiv.
Alexander Lukashenko told a security meeting he and the Russian president last weekend agreed to bring their troops together “due to tensions on the western border” of Belarus.
The strongman president’s comments came just a few hours after Ukrainian cities suffered a devastating barrage of strikes, with the capital Kyiv bombed for the first time since the spring as Russia sought to retaliate after an apparent attack on the bridge linking Russia with Crimea.
