In order to attack Ukraine, Belarus

needs to partially or fully mobilize its troops, but it will probably not be possible to provide everyone with the necessary weapons, because Lukashenko is giving them to Russia in echelons.

And the formation of a joint group with the troops of the Russian Federation for Belarus will actually be an occupation of its territory.

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov expressed this opinion in an interview with TSN.ua.

"More adequate and with a logical meaning is the statement of the Minister of Defense of Belarus, in which he expressed that we do not want to fight if you (Ukrainians - Ed.) do not fight. And Lukashenko makes political statements in the context of Putin. He tries to play for two fronts - on the one hand, he distributes all military supplies as much as possible.

, he is now giving

in echelons . And how will he deploy the army?

What are they for plant? Distribute rifles and form marching companies, as it was in 1941? No, it won't be like that," Zhdanov says.

The expert also refers to the report of the head of the State Border Service of Blorus, which, according to him, says that Ukraine has turned the border into a fortress.

"Our border is equipped, all roads are mined, bridges are blown up, there are minefields all around - this is what the Belarusian chief border guard reports.

it ourselves, because we are fenced there with barbed wire and why do we need Belarus. But, if they will to try (to go on the offensive - Ed.), then they understand," Zhdanov says.

In his opinion, Putin and Lukashenko will deploy a joint grouping of troops to attack Ukraine if the second wave of mobilization is successful.

"Lukashenko announces the formation of a joint grouping of the allied state, but

and they bring 120,000 Russian conscripts there. By the way,

Because 120,000 Russian soldiers will exceed three times the strength of the military component of the Armed Forces of Belarus. So, I think that Lukashenko is continuing his game in the sense that "

," concluded the expert.
