Currently no threat of Belarus’ direct invasion of Ukraine – Podolyak

"Currently, there is no threat of direct invasion from the Belarusian side," Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said at a briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

He urges not to exaggerate the risk from the Belarusian side.

"Some information periodically appears on some mobilization, intensification, and so on. But when we check the information, we know that there is no sufficient mobilization to allow Belarus to take part in hostilities as of now. That is, Belarus will not participate, at least not today," he said.

According to him, Ukraine has no information about Belarusians being prepared for hostilities with Ukrainians.

"I emphasize that this is official information. Yes, Belarus has provided its territory for military operations of the Russian army in the framework of allied relations between them, but no more," said the adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

As for the Russian "liberators", Podolyak added, they also start to realize what flowers they are greeted with.

As reported, on February 24, Russian president Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and launched a large-scale invasion.

Russian troops are killing civilians, shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, and missiles hit Ukrainians' homes.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of the entire nation, courageously resist Russian aggression.
