#1  Lost amidst the verbiage is this take away:
"The threat of new strikes and the use of strike UAVs remains. In particular, from the territory of the Republic of Belarus. In the Volyn and Poliske directions , the situation has not changed significantly. The Republic of Belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine."
If so, what is NATO's response?
