The joint grouping of troops will be subordinate to the Russian General Staff.

The Russian Federation will have assembled a grouping on the territory of Belarus by the middle of winter.

This opinion was expressed by the Ukrainian military expert Oleh Zhdanov on the air of Right to Power.

According to him, they want to form a group of 120,000 men on the territory of Belarus before the New Year. This is necessary to implement the plan that Gerasimov proposed at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, namely, a strike in the direction of Lutsk-Lviv.

“I think that today these 20 thousand that have arrived, plus the mobilization that Lukashenka is now going to carry out in rural areas. So far, he says that this is for harvesting, but I think that this will be a real mobilization,” the expert said.

“The end of contracts for the reconstruction or restoration of loading and cargo frames and access routes to them on the Belarusian railway is scheduled for the end of November. I think that the main equipment and weapons will begin to arrive somewhere in the second half of November, and the formation will be ready approximately in December,” he added.

He recalled that at the beginning of the invasion, a group of about 40,000 military men entered from the side of Belarus, from two directions.

“This grouping will be 100% subordinate to the General Staff of the Russian Federation,” Zhdanov explained.

He believes that the presence of such a number of mobilized Russians on the territory of Belarus will mean the occupation of the country.

“After that, Lukashenka's stay in power will not interest anyone. With so many troops, Putin will be able to hold any situation on the territory of Belarus. And he will be able to break any resistance, if any, from the side of the Armed Forces of Belarus itself,” the expert stressed.
