Earlier, Belarus announced the beginning of "mobilization exercises" on the border with Ukraine, which continued several times. At the end of May, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus announced that on behalf of Lukashenko they would create a "people's militia". On June 7, the Belarusian Army began with "combat readiness".

Also Lukashenko, who seized power in Belarus, began training with "transition from peaceful in wartime", Ukrainian intelligence reports. British intelligence believes that Lukashenko balances between the support of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the desire to avoid direct military participation with the risk of Western sanctions, a Ukrainian blow in response and possible dissatisfaction in the Belarusian Armed Forces.
