Minsk will have to go to war with Ukraine, which is already striking at the territory of the Russian Federation, which cannot be avoided by Belarus.
Former Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Strelkov stated this on his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Belarusians will still have to fight, because the war that is going on in Ukraine will spread to the territory of the Russian Federation, it has already spread, in fact. Because if regular shelling is not considered a war, then what is considered a war? The turn will come to Belarus.
In such a defensive war, Old Man will be forced to participate, and the Belarusians will also participate. Who is on whose side and in what quantity is a separate question
Let's not forget that the Poles and Romanians are about to enter the war in one form or another. I thought that by this moment the Poles would have already entered. Why haven't they come in yet? I answer - I don’t know,” Strelkov reasoned.
He explained that the intentions of the Poles and Romanians remain, and concluded what this threatens for the Russian army.
“It’s a fact that sooner or later this will happen, and you won’t have to wait long for it. The Poles will not bring their entire army into the territory of Ukraine and, moreover, will not send their troops to the front. They, with a 90% probability, will take under protection Lutsk and Volyn, Lviv, and possibly other territories in the Western and so-called North-Western parts of the so-called Ukraine. Having freed up the Ukrainian Armed Forces and territorial defense units located there for operations on the eastern front and covered the most important crossings and facilities with their own air defense, which they have in the West. This will greatly reduce the capabilities of our rocket launchers, our pilots, in hitting important targets located on their territory. That is, in fact, they will create a reliable rear that will not be vulnerable to the Russian missile technological advantage.
As for Romania, their interest is also clear - this is Bukovina and, first of all, Transnistria. They will operate under the Moldovan flag and only together with Kiev. We are waiting and watching,” said the former minister.
