Turkey has officially withdrawn from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), following NATO's suspension of operations for the treaty in response to Russia's exit from the agreement last November. This move aligns Turkey with other NATO allies who have similarly suspended the treaty after Russia's withdrawal. Additionally, Belarus, under the directive of its leader, Lukashenko, is preparing to suspend its participation in the CFE Treaty, with plans to submit a bill to the lower house of parliament for this purpose. This series of withdrawals and suspensions from the CFE Treaty by various countries, including a recent announcement by Poland, marks a significant shift in the landscape of conventional military force agreements in Europe.
