Is Belarus far from Europe?

Belarus is actually in the geographical centre of Europe.

The closest European capital, Vilnius, is just two hours drive from Minsk, the centre of Belarus. The capital of Belarus is around a one hour flight from Warsaw or Moscow, less than a two hour flight from Berlin and less than three hours from London.
