MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Ukraine has warned that both the joint military deployment between Russia and Belarus and the recent “hostile” statements made by Minsk indicate a “growing threat” of an offensive launched by Moscow from Belarusian territory.
“The aggressive rhetoric of the political-military leadership of Russia and Belarus is intensifying, accompanied by the deployment of the regional grouping of troops of the so-called allied state,” said Oleksii, deputy head of the main department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Gromov, as reported by the Ukrinform news agency.
In this sense, Gromov has theorized that the alleged offensive could be launched from the west of the border between Ukraine and Belarus with the aim of “cutting off the main logistical arteries for the supply of weapons and military equipment.”
The Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko, his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, signed a commitment to respond to the “risk of attacks from neighboring countries” through joint military deployment between the two allied countries.
Belarus imposed an “anti-terrorist operation regime” in the face of possible “provocations” by neighboring countries and carried out an alleged partial covert mobilization to recruit some 2,000 more people for the Armed Forces.
