November 24 at a briefing in Kyiv.

At the same time, according to him, Ukrainian intelligence has not yet recorded that an attack-offensive group has been formed on the territory of Belarus.

Alyaksei Gromau reminded that the leadership of Belarus has again extended until November 28 the inspection of the combat readiness of the Belarusian army, which has been going on since May.

"At the same time, the ability of the Armed Forces of Belarus to conduct independent offensive actions is assessed as low.

The morale and psychological state is considered low due to the refusal of most of the personnel to take part in the so-called special operation.

At the same time, about 10-15 thousand personnel of the security forces of Belarus are ready to participate in the so-called special operation of Russia, first of all, because of the attractiveness of the high monetary security," added Aleksei Gromau.

According to him, flights of MiG-31K aircraft, which are carriers of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, continue in the airspace of Belarus.

"The threat of missile strikes, airstrikes and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles on the territory of Ukraine remains," he believes.

"The enemy is spreading information and preparing its troops for the so-called possible escalation of the situation in the period from November 23 to 28 on the Russian-Ukrainian border.

At the same time, they expect that NATO and Ukraine will want to seize the border areas of peace-loving Belarus and Russia.

This is reminiscent of the scenario of the exercises already held in Belarus this September," said Aleksei Gromau.

On October 10, Alexander Lukashenko announced the beginning of the deployment of the regional grouping of Belarusian and Russian troops, as well as the deployment of Russian troops in Belarus.
