The founder of KRAKEN explained what's in store for the dictator.
The Belarusian army is not ready for combat operations and remains a weak structure.
At the same time, according to intelligence reports, Russia is considering the option of hybrid use of its troops from the territory of Belarus in combination with Belarusian units, accounts founder of the KRAKEN Konstantin Nemichev unit.
He states that the rhetoric of self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko remains military, as in early April the latter stated that there would be no peacetime, and today he signed a decree on conscription of reserve officers.
Nemichev also notes the activation of the Belarusian armed forces in the border regions.
"There are reasons to believe that Russia is again trying to drag Belarus into war. We are not talking about a large-scale offensive, but about border provocations, creating tension in the north of Ukraine and an attempt to pull back some of the AFU forces in key directions in the east and south," he writes.
The military officer believes that no attacks on Kiev, Lutsk, Zhitomir or Rivne are not predicted, as such scenarios are "unrealistic for now."
"The Ukrainian side has sent a clear signal to the leadership of Belarus about the inadmissibility of any provocations. It should be understood that Ukraine has sufficient capabilities to quickly demonstrate a response if necessary," he stressed.
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, citing intelligence data, said that in the border regions of Belarus roads towards our country are being arranged and artillery positions are being set up.
"We believe that Russia will once again try to draw Belarus into its war. I instructed the relevant channels to stipulate the actual leadership of Belarus regarding the readiness of Ukraine to defend its land and independence. The nature and consequences of recent events in Venezuela should deter the leadership of Belarus from making mistakes," wrote the head of Ukraine in social networks.
