The information about Belarus' preparations for war with Ukraine is fake and is being deliberately spread to provoke panic. This was reported by the press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
"Information and psychological special operations often pursue several goals at the same time. And in this case, we see different goals, that is, on the one hand, to sow panic among the population, among Ukrainians, including residents of border regions and regions. And to disorient the Ukrainian defense forces, to concentrate forces, to divert forces from other directions. Well, the object and goals of this special psychological information operation are Belarus itself and Belarusians, that is, incitement. To make it so that it sparks, and still involve Belarus itself in a full-scale war, which has not happened so far," said the representative of the GUR, Andriy Yusov.
The spokesman of the intelligence agency added that it is impossible to say that there is no threat from Minsk, since the authorities of the republic help the Russian Federation with weapons, ammunition and armored vehicles. Yusov also reminded that the Republic of Belarus provided the Russian army with its airspace for strikes on the territory of Ukraine.
"But today we cannot talk about the fact that a full-scale invasion will take place in the near future and Belarus will be involved in a ground operation," Yusov concluded.
