Due to the lack of military equipment in the criminal war against Ukraine, the occupying army of the Russian Federation is already taking it from the neighboring controlled Belarus.
Points of attention
- Belarus is transferring its military equipment to Russia due to a lack of weaponry in the face of the conflict with Ukraine, depleting its own arsenals in the process.
- The transfer of military equipment from Belarus to Russia highlights the close military cooperation between the two countries and raises concerns about potential escalation in the region.
- The critical situation with weapons and equipment in the Belarusian army underscores the challenges faced by the country, leading to manipulative threats and demonstrations of military power.
- This is not the first instance of Belarus providing military support to Russia, with previous transfers occurring during times of need for the Russian armed forces.
- The actions of Belarus, particularly the transfer of equipment from active units to Russia, indicate the extent of the crisis within Belarusian armed forces and the implications for regional stability amid the conflict with Ukraine.
What is known about the transfer of military equipment to Belarus to the Russian occupiers
It is noted that the self-proclaimed Belarusian dictator Oleksandr Lukashenko ordered the transfer of military equipment from the warehouses of active Belarusian units to the Russian occupiers, as his country's army also emptied its own general arsenal.
It is emphasized that journalists of the publication learned about the relevant decision from an interlocutor from the Ministry of Defense of Belarus.
The publication notes that Russia asked Belarus for the transfer of equipment after the start of the successful offensive of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region.
In Kurshchyna, the Russian military faced an acute shortage of weapons and heavy equipment.
At the same time, the journalists of the publication note that this is not the first time that Belarus has transferred its own military equipment to Russia.
For example, in 2022, when the Russian armed forces suffered significant losses in Ukraine after a full-scale invasion, Russia asked Belarus to use its arsenals.
What is known about the critical situation with weapons and equipment in the army of Belarus
However, currently, as the publication emphasizes, a critical situation has developed.
In 2022, Lukashenko handed over equipment to the Russian Federation from warehouses, and now he is forced to hand over equipment from operating divisions.
This indicates that Belarus's own arsenals were effectively depleted.
It is noteworthy that, despite the empty warehouses of weapons, Lukashenko recently began to hint at possible direct hostilities with Ukraine.
The reason for such manipulative threats and the demonstrative movement of Belarusian equipment on the border was that the self-proclaimed president of Belarus dreamed of Ukrainian drones that allegedly "crossed the airspace".
