Joint air-tactical exercises with Russia have ended in Belarus.

It was after military exercises in Belarus that Russian troops crossed the border in February 2022 and attacked Ukraine.

Can this happen again and how to prevent it from happening?

Natalya Radina, editor-in-chief of Charter'97, reflects on this in an interview with Svaboda.

The mentioned exercises started on January 16.

The participants of the maneuvers learned air reconnaissance, joint patrolling, air support of ground forces, amphibious landing, cargo delivery and evacuation of the wounded.

Ukrainian intelligence has repeatedly stated that it does not see signs of preparations for a new offensive from the territory of Belarus.

This opinion is also supported by the American Institute for the Study of War.

The Prime Minister of Poland is convinced that Ukraine must prepare for a possible repeated attack by Russia from Belarus.

In an interview with the German publication Bild, Matevush Moravetskyi said that Putin's plan is to surround Ukraine.

"I understand the Prime Minister of Poland, because I also believe that the scenario of an attack from the territory of Belarus on Ukraine is very likely.

Lukashenko is fully involved in this war, Belarus has turned into a staging area and training ground for Russian troops.

There is a great danger that there may be a repeated attack.

We can also see this in the mood of the Belarusian military, who provide us with information.

According to their feelings, they will be involved in this war.

It is not known how the attack will take place, but it will be at the end of February or the beginning of March-April.

Flight tactical exercises indicate that there will be a missile strike on the territory of Belarus," Natalya Radina said.
