Lukashenko says that the Belarusian armed forces are ready for war. In addition, economic mobilization is already underway in the country.
Belarusian oppositionist and deputy chairman of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus Pavel Latushko told this for 24 channel .
“According to Lukashenka's actions, which we can analyze from open or closed sources, preparations for partial mobilization are actually taking place. This is confirmed by Lukashenka's words that he told his Security Council secretary,” Latushko said.
The Belarusian armed forces are supposedly ready to fight
The opposition leader said that the mobilization is confirmed by the very fact that the State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, Volfovich, went to visit his Moscow colleague Patrushev. The day before, Lukashenka said that Belarus should be ready to alert one of the military units. But, as Latushko noted, we are not talking about a separate part. We are talking about the armed forces of Belarus.
The fact that military exercises are going on just states that such mobilization already exists. The same Volfovich in Moscow, before meeting with Patrushev, said that they had already been mobilized for a period of peacetime, based on the available resources. That is, he directly says that the armed forces of Belarus are already in a state of mobilization,” the opposition politician said.
According to him, this means that the Belarusian military is now standing on the border with Ukraine and waiting for an order. They are already involved in the occupying army.
“Is additional mobilization of civilians possible? Patrushev and Volfovich are currently negotiating this,” Latushko added.
Economic Mobilization
There is information that the so-called economic mobilization of public and private enterprises for the period of war. Latushko says that the KGB and the security council actually carried it out for several months. There is already a list of enterprises that will operate in wartime mode. In particular, without the possibility of obtaining additional resources.
“There have already been conversations with the heads of enterprises and created work plans for them for this period of time. Following yesterday's meeting, Secretary of the Security Council Volfovich received unlimited power – all enterprises and local authorities are transferred to his subordination,” the politician said.
He added that they give 2-3 months to prepare for economic mobilization. This can be compared with the mobilization in Russia announced by Putin, and here you can see the coordinated policies and actions of both Moscow and Lukashenka.
“There are no direct confirmations of decisions, but we see preparations,” – stressed Latushko.
