Belarusian Military Training Will Begin as Russia Ramps up Tensions with Ukraine
Russia and Belarus are set to begin ten days of joint military exercises, with significant Russian military hardware relocated near the Ukraine border. The drills, overseen by Russian general staff chief Valery Gerasimov, involve up to 30,000 troops and advanced missile systems. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, who has historically maintained a neutral stance, now shows strong support for Russia's Ukraine agenda. This shift follows Russia's support for Lukashenko during the 2020 protests in Belarus. The exercises add another potential front to a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, with Lukashenko making bold statements about Belarus's military support for Russia. Despite this, analysts suggest Lukashenko's actions may not always align with his promises. The situation underscores Russia's growing influence over Belarus's foreign policy.

Ukraine aid back on US agenda – but still at mercy of unruly Republicans
The US House of Representatives is set to address a national security package that includes military aid for Ukraine, following the resolution of a government funding fight. House Speaker Mike Johnson faces pressure from both supporters and opponents of the aid, with Donald Trump and his far-right allies opposing it. The Senate has already passed a $60bn aid bill, but Johnson is considering alternative methods, including a no-interest loan proposed by Trump. The debate over Ukraine aid has divided Republicans, with some fearing the consequences of inaction. The Biden administration has announced a temporary plan to send $300m in weapons, while the White House lobbies G7 allies for additional support.

According to Zelenskiy, now is not the time to hold elections in Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has indicated that holding presidential elections during wartime would be irresponsible, though he has not entirely ruled out the possibility. His term ends in May 2024, and while Ukrainian law prohibits elections during wartime, there are calls from some opposition figures and international partners, including U.S. senators, to proceed with the elections. The Ukrainian parliament has extended martial law and general mobilization until February 2024. Public opinion in Ukraine is divided, with many seeing no need for elections during the ongoing conflict, partly due to the lack of a strong competitor to Zelenskiy. Former President Petro Poroshenko has also reduced his criticism of the government, emphasizing the inappropriateness of political struggles during war. However, political tensions are resurfacing, with figures like former presidential advisor Aleksey Arestovich warning against potential authoritarianism if elections are not held.
