Belarus puts southern military unit on alert

Belarus has tested its troops' combat readiness in an unprecedented exercise, writes Skynews.

“Inspections will be of a broad nature and will be carried out unannounced by the leadership of the armed forces,” said Council of Belarus Security Secretary Alexander Wolfovich.

The country has increased its military activity in recent days, causing concern in Ukraine.

Belarus is extremely unlikely to invade Ukraine in the foreseeable future, despite the flow of these information operations. A Belarusous intervention in Ukraine, furthermore, would not be able to do more than remove Ukrainian ground forces from other parts of the theatre temporarily given the highly limited effective war power available to Minsk”, the US-based think tank Institute for War Research said.
