Is an attack possible from Belarus
It is known that Belarus has concentrated 7 battalions on the border with Ukraine. In the border areas, additional measures are being taken to equip checkpoints with engineering equipment and additional electronic warfare equipment is being deployed. However, these troops and equipment are still not enough to organize an attack.
The Institute for War Research agrees with these theses. According to them, the army of Belarus is not a combat-ready force. It has insufficient funds, low combat readiness and no real combat experience, unlike the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, Lukashenka needs an army in order to keep his regime. Therefore, in the event of the defeat of the Belarusian units in Ukraine, his own stability would be in jeopardy.
