Second, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace has unveiled in a speech before UK parliament delivered Monday that Britain will send Ukraine weapons as part of a new defense assistance package in order to help "defend its borders" against Russian aggression.

All of this comes the very week following a series of meetings between Kremlin officials and NATO, which failed to produce any results or even an extension of dialogue, for now at least. This also as on Tuesday Germany Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock met Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow for the first time, as Berlin has vowed to do all it can to "guarantee Ukraine's security."

The AFP described that in Belarus, video put out by the Lukashenko government showed "columns of military vehicles including tanks being unloaded from trains blanketed in snow."

A Russian defense ministry statement specifically informed the West that the fresh drills are aimed presence at NATO, raising tensions higher:

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin summoned dozens of foreign military diplomats stationed in Moscow — including 16 from NATO member countries — to announce the drills in Belarus, which he said were aimed at "thwarting external aggression."
