Putin’s War: Ukrainian military warns of activities on Belarusian border
Belarus, which has so far not taken an active part in the Russian-Ukrainian war, is massing forces on the border, according to information from Kyiv.
“The Belarusian armed forces are conducting increased reconnaissance and have deployed additional units in the border area,” the Ukrainian general staff said in its situation report on Monday.
The report stated that the danger of missile and air attacks on Ukraine from Belarusian territory remains.
Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko has not participated with his own troops in the war Russia is waging against Ukraine.
However, Russian troops were allowed to use the country as a deployment area for the attack. Kyiv, therefore, does not see Minsk as neutral, and fears a potential intervention by Belarusian soldiers on Russia’s side of the conflict.
Mr Lukashenko, who was scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea Resort town of Sochi on Monday, has always denied such intentions.
