Russia threatened to deploy bombers and short-range missiles on the Polish border if Warsaw agrees to host elements of a US missile defence shield on its territory.
The warning marks a further escalation in the diplomatic crisis between Russia and the United States. Russian military hardware has not been stationed on the border of what is now the European Union since the Cold War.
Russia's ambassador to Minsk, Alexander Surikov, said that bombers and short-range quasiballistic missiles would be stationed in the west of Belarus, Moscow's most important ex-Soviet ally, once Poland and the United States agree terms.
