Main points
- Lukashenko says that his country is preparing for war. And there can be no peacetime.
- Reserve Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, pilot instructor, military expert Roman Svitan assessed the level of threat from Belarus.
The self-proclaimed President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, says that his country is currently preparing for war. No one is thinking about peacetime right now. This is an interesting statement, but the reality is somewhat different.
Reserve Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, pilot instructor, and military expert Roman Svitan told Channel 24 that Lukashenko has nothing to fight for. If he could, he would have entered the war against Ukraine long ago.
Why is Belarus not in a very advantageous position?
According to Svitan, in fact, two-thirds of Belarus' border runs with European countries. If they risk taking aggressive action there, everything will end very quickly. Ukraine will get involved, European countries will get involved – and everything will end quickly.
The geographical location of Belarus does not give the regime a chance to survive for several days. Putin did not succeed in capturing Kyiv in 3 days. Trump did not succeed in this with Iran. But with Belarus it may well succeed. The blows will stop the Belarusian economy, and the regime will quickly flee the country. At the same time, we understand that the Belarusian people are friendly to us,
– said Svitan.
Pay attention! Self-proclaimed President Lukashenko stated at one of the meetings that Belarus is preparing for war. His country must be able to resist any aggression.
Russia is currently embroiled in a war against Ukraine, so it would not be able to help Lukashenko. His troops are enough for a short-term defense of Minsk. And Lukashenko himself should understand this perfectly well.
The Belarusian army is currently incapable of fighting. And the Belarusian economy works entirely for Russia. These are Lukashenko's statements. Well, the grandfather wanted to rattle off old merits,
– said Svitan.
