Russia continues to transfer military equipment and personnel to Belarus, gradually increasing the grouping of troops on the territory of the republic. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is closely monitoring the situation, not excluding that a joint Russian-Belarusian group will strike from the northern direction.
Russia has transferred Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile systems to Belarus, at least 15 anti-aircraft systems have arrived at the Lesnaya station of the Brest branch of the Belarusian Railway. The echelon was formed in Yeysk. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Lesnaya station is actively used to unload Russian military equipment that has arrived in Belarus.
It is assumed that the newly arrived anti-aircraft complexes in the republic can be used to cover military facilities where Russian troops are stationed, and in case of a possible offensive - to cover the advancing troops from the actions of Ukrainian aviation.
Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Russia had concentrated about 9 thousand military personnel on the territory of Belarus, as well as military equipment, including tanks, BMP-APC and artillery. This number is not enough to carry out a full-fledged offensive from the northern direction, but the Belarusian military can also join the Russians, allegedly up to 15 thousand. As suggested in Kiev, this option is quite possible. A joint group of 25 thousand military personnel, reinforced with armored vehicles and with air support, is able to break through the defense being built by the AFU on the border with Belarus.
In the meantime, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is forced to keep significant forces in the northern direction, although it does not observe preparations for an offensive from the Belarusian territory.
