Belarus is planning to acquire additional Russian-made S-400 air defense systems to shield Minsk.

"The military hardware turned out to be insufficient for us. We will have sufficient personnel but hardware [will not be enough]. I turned to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin so that in addition to the S-400 systems located in the Gomel Region, additional S-400s could be supplied to the area slightly west of Minsk," Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in video footage released by the Pool of the Top Official Telegram channel which is close to the presidential press office.

"In order to shield not only Minsk," he added.
