The military-political leadership of Ukraine has worked out various scenarios of Russiaʼs war against Ukraine, including the option of invading Belarusian troops.
Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the Presidentʼs Office, told the Belarusian newspaper Zerkalo about this.
"Now we are coming out of the pessimistic scenario and preparing for it, reserving strength and assessing our capabilities. In order for us to be ready to inflict maximum and lightning damage on any army other than the Russian one," Podoliak said.
According to him, Ukrainian intelligence is actively working in the Belarusian direction, monitoring all troop movements, exercises and maneuvers, as well as local government initiatives.
Podoliak added that if Lukashenko wants to see the mass death of his servicemen, they "need to go to Ukraine." He also believes that Lukashenko expects pressure from society if he gives the appropriate order.
In addition, according to Podoliak, the Belarusian dictator is already facing retribution for participating in the war against Ukraine.
- According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Belarusian leadership forms a "peopleʼs militia" and holds military meetings near the borders of Ukraine. Belarus also wants to increase its armed forces to 80,000. Military exercises and maneuvers are currently underway.
- In addition, a new southern operational command is being set up in Belarus, which will be on the border with Ukraine.
- Currently, Russian troops are stationed in Belarus in 10 settlements.
