Strong warning of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba to Belarus about the possibility of participation in the Russian invasion: “We communicated very simply and clearly in Minsk that if its armed forces invade the territory of Ukraine and start hostilities, they will be mercilessly destroyed. just like the Russian army will be destroyed, the minister told Ukrinform news agency. “The last thing Belarusians should care about is that their sons, brothers and husbands come here to die because of the absurd ideas of Putin and Lukashenko,” he added, stressing that Belarusian troops are not ready to fight.
According to the latest report published on Facebook by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there are about four battalion battalion groups of the Armed Forces of Belarus near the border with Ukraine.
Yesterday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on Belarus to “end its complicity in Putin’s invasion”. In this sense, the Ukrainian authorities have stated that it is still “impossible to rule out the possibility” of participating jointly with Russian troops. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said on Sunday there were signs of preparations by Belarusian authorities for an offensive, despite Minsk’s consistent insistence on not taking part in the war and not joining the hostilities.
