Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine said that the Russian army had been planning a military invasion of Belarus.

Following the falsification of the presidential election in Belarus in August 2020, the Russian armed forces have developed a plan to invade and suppress popular protests. The occupation of Belarus was planned in order to avoid Russiaʼs involvement in the war with NATO member states.
