Ukraine fears that Belarus could join the Russian invasion while Lukashenko deploys new troops on the border

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry warned today that the Belarusian Army may soon join the invasion launched by Russia on February 24.

"Belarus, as a satellite of Russia, hosts the enemy's troops and weapons on its territory. It is likely that in the future it will be able to support the Russian invaders in the Russo-Ukrainian war and help achieve the goals of the occupiers," Defense said in a statement.

He added that since last February 24, when Russia attacked Ukraine, systematic missile attacks on military and civilian installations have been carried out from the territory of Belarus.

"Today it is observed that the Belarusian troops have been placed on alert and are concentrated in regions very close to the Ukrainian border," the military statement stressed.

According to data from the Ukrainian military intelligence, in the past 24 hours "significant activities" of aviation and movement of columns of vehicles with supplies and food were detected along the Belarusian cities of Baranovichi, Liajovichi and Pinsk, the latter about 20 kilometers from the ukrainian border.
