LAST UPDATE: 13.00
Ukraine is watching high risk of attack in the Volyn region of western Ukraine to be fired from Belarussaid today the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky, referring to the army, according to what was transmitted by the Reuters agency.
The Russian invasion has mainly focused on the northern, southern and eastern regions of Ukraine, although missiles also hit Yavoriv military base last week, near the Polish border.
It was not immediately clear whether Ukraine “saw” the threat of an attack on the Volyn region by Russian forces or by the Belarussian army, which has so far not reportedly contributed troops to support Russia.
A spokesman for the General Staff of the Ukrainian Army told Picture πως ο “The risk of a Belarusian attack on Volyn is high. The Ukrainian defense forces are ready to retaliate.”
Volnyn (German name: Wolhynien) is the area north of Lviv and next to (east) border of Poland.
According to media reports, eyewitnesses observe Belarusian military phalanxes heading towards Bresta city located within walking distance of Poland and Ukraine.
On Saturday, according to Bild, the last remaining employees of the embassy of Belarus have left Ukraine. Without giving any details, the Belarusian ambassador accused Ukraine of “physically threatening” the embassy and spoke of “unacceptable conditions”.
When the Belarusian ambassador left Ukraine, he was said goodbye at the border as a traitor: A Ukrainian border guard handed him or threw him a bag of 30 pieces of silver – referring to the 30 pieces of silver that Judas is said to have betrayed according to Jesus Christ Will, according to Bild.
The messages from the Russian and Belarusian propagandists are also worrying: a Russian propaganda program said that “Ukraine is doing everything to lure Belarus into the special operation.”
Already in recent weeks, Ukrainian officials have warned of fake flag attacks on Belarusian territory: Russian troops could carry out attacks on Belarusian soil and then blame Ukraine.
Belarusian President Lukashenko has so far ruled out invading his army. However, Belarus is already serving as a base for Russian troops, treating, among other things, wounded Russian soldiers.
According to researches, The vast majority of Belarusians reject a war against Ukraine, Bild reports. completing how they could rise up again against the dictator – as they did after the stolen 2020 elections.
Even opposition leader Svetlana Tikanovskaya does not tire of stressing this. On the contrary, “all its people are fighting on the side of Ukraine.” This is evident, for example, in the Belarusian volunteers who help Ukrainian refugees.
But the question is whether Lukashenko can, even if he himself were against a war, decide freely on his troops, Bild notes.
According to the latest information from Bild, according to the head of the Ukrainian Railways, Belarusian saboteurs damaged railway connection from Belarus to Ukraine, in order to stop the supply of Russian military equipment.
“As of today, I can say that there is no railway traffic between Belarus and Ukraine,” said Alexander Kamyshin, head of the Ukrainian Railways. This means that Russian troops in Ukraine will no longer receive supplies through these routes, according to Bild.
He had previously called on Belarusians “not to follow criminal orders” – according to him, successfully.
According to Bild, after the violent suppression of the protests against the rigged presidential elections in 2020, Lukashenko is dependent on Vladimir Putin. Putin saved him and now Lukashenko owes him a lot, the German newspaper notes, adding that experts consider it doubtful whether his troops are even capable of fighting other soldiers as they have never done so before.
However, Lukashenko showed a “good face” on Chinese television, as he praised the Russian president and assured: “Putin is in better shape than ever.” He is anything but sick, but “more alive than any living person.”
Thus, if Putin decides that an invasion of Belarus is necessary, Lukashenko could not disagree, Bild concludes.
