The danger of drawing Belarusian troops into the war remains/Armiainform
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”.
I will not say that this threat is great, but we cannot neglect the fact that it exists. Andriy Yermak's adviser says.
What is known about the situation on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border
Due to Russia's actions, as of May 25, the danger at the border remains. The occupying country does not leave carrying out armed provocations. Russian occupiers are firing from different types of weapons. In particular, small arms and mortars. Border patrols have increased on the territory of Belarus. The head of the 105th border detachment named after Prince Vladimir the Great said that the density of border protection had increased.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also reported that the threat of missile and air strikes against Ukraine from the territory of Belarus had increased. The division of the Iskander-M OTRK was moved to the Brest region, located 50 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
On May 22, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Belarusian army had stepped up intelligence in Volyn and Polissya. According to the Ukrainian defenders, the Belarusians are deploying additional means for conducting electronic intelligence. We are talking about the territory of the border regions of the Gomel region.
Also, members of the “Belarusian underground” reported that Belarus continued military exercises on the border with Ukraine and Western countries. They will last at least until May 28. 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.
