There are more than 1,000 armored vehicles, about 160 artillery systems and mortars, 235 airplanes and helicopters," Lukashenko was quoted as saying by the Pul Pervogo Telegram channel.Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Georgia and Serbia will be drawn into NATO just like the scenario of the situation in Ukraine, Lukashenko added.In recent years, Russia has witnessed unprecedented NATO activity near its western borders.

Moscow has repeatedly stressed that any Western weapons in Ukraine will become legitimate targets for Russian strikes.
