The head of the State Border Service, Sergei Deineko, said that the department has not yet recorded the creation of groups on the territory of Belarus that would be ready for offensive operations, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for all scenarios. The head of the State Border Guard Service announced this on the air of the telethon.

“We have enough intelligence agencies in the state, and we monitor the entire situation on the territory of the Republic of Belarus every day.. We understand that the so-called allied state, which has been providing all the assistance to the aggressor state from the first day of the war - infrastructure, airspace, its own training bases - it can at any moment provide assistance in the form of assistance in a repeated attack on the territory of our state. However, at present we do not record the creation of offensive groups on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.. The total number of Russian occupation forces currently on the territory of Belarus, mainly at training grounds in the Vitebsk region, at a sufficient distance from the state border with Ukraine, is from 10,200 to 10,500 servicemen,” he said..

Deineko noted that the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has information that within the next two weeks some of these servicemen will be moved to the territory of Russia with subsequent capsizing into the combat zone in Donbass.. They will be replaced by part of the military personnel from the 3rd Army Corps of the 6th Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces.

“We see that the territory of Belarus is now used for combat coordination of units of the Russian occupation forces. Of course, the enemy should not be underestimated. Of course, there is a threat, but I can’t say that it is real and critical now,” the head of the Border Service said..

Commenting on the prospect of a second offensive against Ukraine from the territory of the Republic of Belarus, Deineko said that such an offensive is unlikely to happen in January.

“You can try to repeat this offensive, but I am sure that it will not be successful. If they are ready for the second defeat, you can start it tomorrow, for example. But they don't have the strength to do so..

According to my estimates, in January it is unlikely that the troops of the united allied state will be able to try to carry out a second offensive on the territory of our state,” he added..

Recall that earlier 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..
