According to the diplomat, Putin is preparing to attack Ukraine again from the territory of Belarus.

Diplomat Valery Chaly is convinced that the announced visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Belarus is connected with the preparation of a new offensive against Ukraine.

On the air of the “Espresso” TV channel, he noted that Putin will demand that Lukashenka enter a war of aggression against Ukraine.

“I have no doubt that Putin will demand that Lukashenko go to war against Ukraine during his visit to Belarus. Lukashenko has already been warned that he can be physically removed. So Putin is going to Belarus to make sure that Lukashenko understands everything.” , – thinks Chaly.

According to the diplomat, Putin is preparing to attack Ukraine again from the territory of Belarus. And he needs to involve not only Lukashenka in this offensive, but also the whole of Belarus.

“Unfortunately, the probability of re-crossing the Ukrainian border from the territory of Belarus is increasing. Personally, I believe that the Russians will inevitably cross the border from the territory of Belarus again. Since Putin needs to involve not only Lukashenko and his entourage, but also all of Belarus in this war. This adventure is not will mean success for the Russians. However, it is important for them to once again cross the Ukrainian border precisely from the territory of Belarus,” Chaly added.

The threat of a new offensive from Belarus

The Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Brigadier General Oleksiy Gromov, said that in addition to the fact that the Russian military presence has been increasing on the territory of Belarus since mid-October, the leadership of Belarus is taking steps that may indicate preparations to participate in aggression against Ukraine.

SBU Major General Viktor Yagun emphasized that if Belarusians take part in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the last chance to preserve the independence and independence of Belarus will be destroyed. He emphasized that the Belarusian military mostly does not want to fight against Ukraine.

At the same time, the adviser of the office of the President of Ukraine, Oleksiy Arestovych, believes that there is no direct threat from Belarus now, even from the Russian occupiers. In addition, the necessary grouping of troops for a new offensive has not been created on the territory of the country.
