The threat that the troops of Belarus will be brought into the war of Russia against Ukraine remains. True, this can happen under certain conditions – for example, the occupiers will gain control in the east of Ukraine and still retain strength for a further offensive, this will be one of the “blackmail arguments” against the Belarusians so that they openly enter the war.

This was announced to Channel 24 by Aleksey Arestovich, Advisor to the Office of the President. He also noted that due to the frequent shelling of the Sumy region, one can come to the conclusion that there may be a renewed offensive in the north.

Also, Arestovich noted that there is a threat of the Belarusian military entering the territory of Ukraine, the so-called “return to old topic”.

However, despite the increase in training time at the training grounds, the Belarusian army is still not ready for any offensive military operations against Ukraine. However, it has become more ready for defense.

As for the Belarusians themselves, the vast majority condemns Lukashenka's actions and supports Ukraine. But there are also such Belarusian military who decided to take the side of the Russians and take part in the war against Ukraine. Because of this decision, their relatives had to organize the funeral. As it became known to Ukrainian intelligence officers, funerals of such soldiers have already taken place in several Belarusian settlements. A contract soldier was buried in the town of Maryina Gorka, Minsk Region, and another soldier and a retired officer were buried in Osipovichi.
