Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar noted that Ukraine is preparing for any actions of the Russians. At the same time, the Defense Ministry does not seem to intend to warn citizens about the threat of a new large-scale invasion.. During the telethon, Malyar, answering a journalist’s question about whether the population would be informed about the new threat, noted that this would be incorrect, since the occupiers have several options at once.

" They also make decisions in the last hours, and those who carry it out do not know the day before how, where and what decisions will be made,” Malyar says..

The Russians, according to her, are guided by the situation and the dynamics of the front. Specifically, taking into account these reasons, they calculate their resources.

" It's been happening since February.. They constantly imitate training there, but in fact we understand that this is a state of readiness,"

We should not forget that the territory of the Republic of Belarus is constantly used by Russian troops for the war against Ukraine..

Recall, the military-political command of Ukraine warns that Russia is preparing to launch a new offensive against Ukraine in 2023.. The most optimistic option is if this happens in February-March. At the same time, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny notes that it is not yet clear in which direction this will happen.. Therefore, he does not exclude the possibility that the occupiers will again try to capture Kyiv, starting the operation from Belarus..

On December 19, for the first time in three years, Russian leader Vladimir Putin traveled to Minsk to negotiate with dictator Alexander Lukashenko.. Most likely, there he wanted to persuade the self-proclaimed president of the Republic of Belarus to directly participate in the war against Ukraine, but analysts at the US Institute for the Study of War believe that Putin did not succeed..
