"Today, the situation on the territory of Belarus does not pose a direct threat of any ground actions against Ukraine," Nayev said in his comments to journalists.

According to him, Ukraine maintains contacts with Western partners, in particular, with the USA and Poland, and intelligence is constantly working.

The received information indicates that now the grouping of Belarusian troops along the border with Ukraine "has not changed either quantitatively or qualitatively."

The day before, the US Ministry of Defense stated that it does not see any signs that Belarus is preparing for war against Ukraine, despite participation in joint exercises with the Russian Federation.

However, today, the Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Brigadier General Aleksey Gromau, said that the joint military exercises "West" and "Shield of the Union" with Russia in 2023 are a new potential threat to the repeated invasion of Russia into the territory of Ukraine.

However, the Ukrainian general also added that so far there are no signs of formation of a strike group to resume the offensive on the territory of Belarus.

  • On Sunday, Russia and Belarus are planning joint exercises of aviation units, which will be held on the territory of Belarus.

    The exercises are planned from January 16 to February 1 with the involvement of Russian and Belarusian forces.
