President Vladimir Putin has formed a reserve of Russian law enforcement officers standing by to be sent to Belarus, he said in a new interview that aired Thursday.
Putin said he created the reserve at the request of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who faces mass demonstrations in his country weeks after a disputed election he claims to have won in a landslide.
Russia will not deploy these forces unless “extremist elements in Belarus cross a line and start plundering,” Putin said in the interview with the state-run Rossia 1 broadcaster.
“We’ve agreed that [the reserve] will not be used until the situation starts getting out of control,” Putin said.
On Sunday, Lukashenko and his 15-year-old son were filmed carrying automatic weapons and wearing bulletproof vests while flying to his residential palace as an unprecedented opposition rally took place in central Minsk.
In recent days, he has ordered multiple war games, increased border security and deployed troops in Minsk as a show of force to protesters and foreign powers.

I see Russian provocateurs will be ready for action in the next few days. Cue Russia instigating riots at the weekend, of course they won’t be interfering when they go in to “stop” these riots they started.
Rumors have it Sunday/Monday the mayhem will start.
Yeah, and Putin will March into Belarus and save the day. Luka will be replaced by a Kremlin stooge. The Kremlin already run the Belarus media, so any propaganda coming out will be believed by Russians. Once Putin’s FSB thugs are planted in Belarus, that’s the end of any freedom, or democracy.
The West’s policies towards RuSSia and China since 2000 is a mess. Europe is sucking ruSSian gas and the rest depends on chinese plastic crap from their sweat shops. This is not how to win the new warm war against the commies.
As long as we have a POTUS who thinks China are the main enemy, nothing will be done about Russia.
Nothing will be done about China either, despite the bat virus they released on us and the situation in Hong Kong.
Plundering? It’s been almost 3 weeks since the election, I think if there was a chance for plundering it would have been done by now. Hopefully it will be like Maidan and the people will take care of the provocateurs. They will likely have heavy Moscow accents…

The detention of Russians in Minsk is an action of the special services of Ukraine and the United States , now it is reliably known. We behave much more restrained in relation to the events in Belarus than Europe and the United States. But we are not indifferent to what is happening there – this is the closest country to us. At the request of Alexander Lukashenko, I formed a reserve of law enforcement officers who can go to Belarus, but so far there is no need for this. They will not go there until the extremists start setting fire to cars and houses. We proceed from the assumption that all problems in Belarus will be resolved peacefully. I believe that the Belarusian police are behaving rather restrainedly. And it’s normal that in the USA they shoot an unarmed person in the back? Something I did not see, that it would be condemned somewhere. It’s not about what is happening in Belarus, but about the fact that someone wants something else to happen there. But in general, the situation is leveling off.
Extremists? You mean those 82% who voted for Svetlana…right?
“President Vlad the blood-sucking dwarf has formed a reserve of Russian law enforcement officers standing by to be sent to Belarus, he said in a new interview that aired Thursday.”
What the Ruskies call “law enforcement officers” are called hired thugs, occupation troops, jerks and assholes in other countries, doing the dwarf’s filthy work.
