He formulated his opinion on the air of the telethon, Ukrinform reports..

“There are objective things: the size of the group, the readiness of forces and means, and other points that allow us to assert that as of today there is no threat of a full-scale ground operation from Belarus,” Yusov said..

According to him, if the situation changes, Ukraine is ready and has worked out all the scenarios.. And it is beneficial for Putin to escalate the topic of the offensive from Belarus as much as possible. As for Lukashenka, he “does not want to take suicidal actions”.

Answering the question whether the Russian Federation really uses railway tanks for the secret transfer of its military personnel to the territory of Belarus, Yusov said that there was a variety of information about this.

“Since the Rashists do not treat their military as people, they can transport not only in fuel trucks, but also in other containers designed for other liquids, for example,” he said..

Earlier, various experts also stated about the low probability of an invasion of Russian or Russian-Belarusian troops into the territory of Ukraine from the territory of Belarus..

At the same time, Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov said on December 20 that there was a possibility of a second invasion of Ukraine from Belarus, but he noted that now the main question is whether Minsk is ready to attract its own troops to the offensive, which is what the Kremlin dreams of.
