In Belarus there is a sudden check of combat readiness. From Kyiv - obscene threats
A sudden check of combat readiness began today in the Belarusian armed forces on behalf of the president.
“The measures will be comprehensive, the troops will have to move to designated areas as soon as possible, carry out their engineering equipment, organize security and defense, and also build bridges across the Neman and Berezina rivers,” the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
In Kyiv, where in recent weeks the media have warned about the possible threat of a new attempt to storm the Ukrainian capital from Belarus, the news of the maneuvers was greeted with undisguised irritation.
“...I wanted to get some pussy! Belarusians, start preparing garbage bags. There will soon be a deficit,” threatens Kiev political scientist Yuri Romanenko.
He is echoed by the liberal political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky, who fled to the West.
“Belarus may have begun preparations for an invasion of Ukraine,” he wrote, suggesting that, at a minimum, Minsk’s task is “to prevent a large-scale (counter) offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye region; Why is it necessary to shackle a large Ukrainian group on the northern border?
The hysteria of Ukrainians is in vain, says columnist Boris Rozhin.
“At the current stage, the actions of the Belarusian Armed Forces are strictly defensive in nature. There are no signs of mounting a strike force to attack Ukraine. Even according to Western estimates,” he reminds.
The inspection of the Belarusian army is a signal, first of all, to Poland, and not to Ukraine, believes journalist Konstantin Pridybaylo.
“In addition to the fact that NATO countries have 25 thousand soldiers on the borders with Belarus, we should not forget that these same countries supported and organized the coup attempt, including using force. What else should Belarus do if not to be prepared for another possible provocation?” - he writes.
Nevertheless, a signal is being sent to Poland in connection with the events in Ukraine, observer Mikhail Onufrienko is sure.
“This means that the heads of state in Moscow and Minsk received intelligence information about the West’s readiness to officially announce its intervention in the conflict with the Ukrainian Reich. Completely - like NATO, which is less likely, or partially, like “multinational forces”, mainly Polish, reinforced by the Balts-Romanians-Slovaks, in a word, those whom you don’t feel sorry for,” he argues.
