Ukrainian territory “today is such a hub for recovery, training, and preparation of Orks for the war in Ukraine,” Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, told Freedom.

Cooperation between Russia and Belarus during the war in Ukraine – what you need to know now
Belarus allowed Russians to invade Ukraine from its territory. In addition, they repeatedly attacked our territory from Belarusian land. Later, Russian conscripts came to Belarus for training. Military exercises are constantly held in Belarus.
In the fall of 2022, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that there were rare cases of conflicts between the military of Russia and Belarus against the background of national belonging and the defiant attitude of Russians towards Belarusians.
At the end of December, the State Border Service of Ukraine claimed that there were more than 10,000 Russian soldiers in Belarus, and that number of enemy forces would not be enough for a new attack on our country.
