According to him, the threat from Belarus is minimal, but sabotage groups can fall into Ukraine from the Belarusian direction. "Belarus has been and remains a bridgehead for invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Federation's troops are going or practically gone, but they can be returned at any time. Therefore, I would not hurry to wash your hands.
The threat of land invasion from the territory of Belarus is minimal, if you do not take into account the action of sabotage groups that can enter our territory, including from the Belarusian direction, "Popovich said. He also excluded the participation of Belarusian troops in the attack on Ukraine, noting that Alexander Lukashenko was trying to avoid direct joining the war against Ukraine.
"If Lukashenko was burning in the war against Ukraine, not to serve as a bridgehead for the placement of Russian troops, not to help Putin with weapons, not to repair his equipment, namely to invade, he would have done it for a long time, because there were many convenient moments to this day. A significant threat was in March last year, which was stored almost all of 2022, " - said Popovich.
Also, the military observer is convinced that in the Russian Federation there may be a plan to repeat the offensive on Kiev, but this direction is well strengthened and the Armed Forces are in constant readiness. We will remind, on September 8 it was reported that Russia withdrew fighters and aviation from the territory of Belarus.
The Belarusian monitoring group informed that there is no longer an aviation component of the regional group of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the country. Airplanes and herants returned to their homeland, as were the majority of personnel. Earlier, on September 7, the removal of units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the territory of Belarus was confirmed by the spokesman of the State Tax Service of Ukraine Andriy Demchenko.
