Belarus. There are more and more soldiers on the border with Belarus
The announcement about the Belarusian military exercises coincided with a report by the monitoring group Belarus Gajun, which reported that the number of Belarusian soldiers at bases near the Ukrainian border was increasing.
“Units of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus were transferred to the Stolin, Lerchidce, Mozyr and Gomel regions,” the statement said.
Military analysts said the move could be related to the situation on the front lines in Ukraine. In recent days, Ukrainian forces have resumed offensive operations in the Russian Kursk Oblast.
Creating the image of a potential invasion from Belarus by moving troops close to the border could force the Ukrainians to keep some of their forces that could be used in an attack. .
