“In short, we are ready for any provocative actions on the part of Ukraine,” Muraveiko said in an interview with STV.

He noted that the Belarusian side sees inadequate actions of Ukraine, including with shooting towards the border of Belarus.

According to him, Minsk negotiated with Kyiv on a military line, but to no avail.

Muraveiko also said that territorial defense exercises are planned to be held in the first quarter of 2023.
