The Kremlin is looking for new ways to draw Belarusians into Russia's war against Ukraine. In particular, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Belarusians are offered money and free military education..
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Russian special services are studying the morale of Belarusian servicemen and conducting individual conversations with the rank and file of the Belarusian army in order to convince them to join the war against Ukraine, including as part of the Russian Armed Forces..
“Belarusians are offered a monetary reward in the amount of $1,000-1,500 per month for completing “special tasks”. In addition - preferential education in Russian military universities (for example, the Ryazan Airborne Command School). In particular, such cases were recorded in units of the 103rd airborne division of the Belarusian Armed Forces and the Gomel border group,” the report says..
Despite this, according to intelligence, there is a very low level of motivation among the Belarusian military to participate in hostilities.. Those who gave their consent are excluded from the lists of personnel of their units to extend their service not in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Belarus.
“Currently, there are disputes among the top military and political leadership of Belarus about the possibility of involving.
The vast majority of personnel refusing to participate in the so-called “special operation” are checked for links with the opposition. Commanders disloyal to the Russian Federation are being replaced,” intelligence reports..
