Note that the rocket launchers were brought to Belarus without tractors. The latter (type BAZ-6402) arrived at Gomel airport late in the evening on June 21. The journalists also reported that when tractors drove along Sovetskaya Street in Gomel, the lights were purposefully turned off throughout the street.
After unloading at 06:25 and 08:00, the planes flew to Pskov. At about 8:30 am the equipment left the airport and moved towards Rechitsa.
What is happening on the border with Belarus
Belarus is holding mobilization exercises with the military commissariats of the Gomel region, a training meeting of those liable for military service is planned. The exercises will continue from today, from June 22 to July 1.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 7 combat battalions are concentrated on the border with Belarus, but there are no signs of preparations for a second invasion from the territory of the country.
In addition, Belarus has deployed a train of new howitzers near the border with Ukraine, and in the border areas of Belarus, additional measures are being taken to equip checkpoints with engineering equipment and deploy additional electronic warfare equipment.
At the same time, Interior Ministry adviser Vadim Denisenko believes that at the moment the accumulation of troops is not enough to organize an attack.
Belarus is already drawn into the war against Ukraine
Despite the fact that the Belarusian military does not take a direct part in the war against Ukraine, Ukrainian cities are regularly shelled from the territory of the country, destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians.
In addition, at the beginning of the war, on February 24, Russian troops entered Ukraine from the territory of Belarus.
On June 10, the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, generally stated that Belarusian troops might have to fight for western Ukraine so that the West would not pull it away.
