On Feb 3, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg claimed that Russia had been moving 30,000 combat troops and modern weapons to Belarus over the last days. This is Moscow’s biggest military deployment to the country since the end of the Cold War. “The deployment included Speznaz special operations forces, SU-35 fighter jets, dual capable Iskander missiles and S-400 air defence systems,” he told reporters in Brussels.
