Ukraine is preparing for a possible Russian attack launched from Belarusian territory. According to Major General Oleksandr Pivnenko, commander of Ukraine’s National Guard, the threat will become realistic if Russia amasses approximately 70,000 combat-ready troops near the border. Pivnenko stated Ukrainian forces are actively working to prevent such a scenario from unfolding. He did not elaborate on specific preventative measures being taken. The assessment highlights ongoing concerns about Belarus’s role in the conflict, given its close ties with Russia. This potential escalation route adds another layer of complexity to the existing war. Ukrainian officials continue to monitor the situation closely for any signs of increased Russian military activity in Belarus.
