Belarus continues to raise the issue of "tension" on the border with Ukraine
Against the background of the events in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, representatives of Belarus again began to make statements about the alleged presence of a threat from Ukraine.
In particular, the Minister of Defense of the country stated about "the high probability of armed provocations by Ukraine and high-profile actions with the involvement of Belarusian nationalist formations."
The statement of the Belarusian minister is part of an information campaign to incite tension on the border with Ukraine, the purpose of which is to draw Ukrainian forces from important areas of the front to the northern border. This is not the first time that Belarus has resorted to such information attacks against Ukraine, acting in the interests of Moscow.
Calls by the illegitimate president of Belarus, Oleksandr Lukashenka, to Kyiv and Moscow to sit down at the negotiating table and "end this fight" show that the success of the Ukrainian operation in the Kursk region causes Minsk to fear, insecurity and worry about the further development of the Russian-Ukrainian war, according to the CPD.
