President Zelensky recently stated that Belarus is preparing artillery positions near the Ukrainian border and signed a decree on the call-up of reserve officers to military service. Taras Zhovtenko, an expert on international security at the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation, expressed the opinion to Channel 24 that Russia is thus preparing to deploy active operations on NATO's eastern flank and wants to use Belarusian territory as a launching pad for drones, artillery systems, and ballistics.

Vasyl Denisyuk also said that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the Russians to replenish their army due to high losses. This has already affected the fighting, as the Ukrainian military has noticed a slight reduction in the number of occupiers.
