Very intriguing news brief from Reuters, as the cops in Minsk find themselves stamping out anti-Russia protests:
Thousands of Russian soldiers have started to arrive in Belarus for joint exercises that will continue until Sept. 29.
Riot police moved in to disperse the meeting minutes after protesters
unfurled banners saying “Russian army go home” and “No Russian
occupation”.“This is our response to the beginning of the
exercises, to the entry of Russian troops onto the territory of
Belarus. Belarus should not be with Russia, but with Europe,” protester
Dmitry Bondarenko told journalists.
