Details: The column was spotted near the village of Haradzieja, located between Minsk and Baranovychi, at 21:30 (Kyiv time).
Investigators have earlier noticed fuel trucks, military trucks, and ‘9K33 Osa’ (a mobile, short-range tactical surface-to-air missile system developed in USSR -ed.) in the column near Samakhvalovichi village near Minsk.The military equipment was marked with a red square, which is used by the Belarusian armed forces, according to eyewitnesses.
The vehicles are moving on the M1 motorway, which ends in the city of Brest, located on the border with Poland and Ukraine.
Background: Lukashenko has already dragged Belarus into the Russian war in Ukraine by providing the Russian occupying forces with military facilities located in Belarus.
Russian military aircraft use Belarusian airfields to carry out aerial assaults on Ukrainian cities. Belarusian warehouses, fuel and lubricants depots, as well as hospitals are used to meet the rear needs of Russian occupying forces units in Ukraine.
In addition, a significant number of Russian aggressor’s missile strikes on Ukrainian cities were carried out from the territory of Belarus.
More Background:
The Ukrainian military and officials expected Belarus to join Russian armed aggression in Ukraine by 9 pm on March 11. Secretary of Ukrainian National Security and Defence Council Oleksiy Danilov warned Belarusians from participating in a war against Ukraine, so as not to risk returning home "with a load of 200".
The Air Force Command of Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Russian aircraft took off from the Belarusian airfield at 2:30 p.m. on March 11. They entered the airspace of Ukraine over the Rivne region, turned around and fired on villages near Ukraine's border with Belarus. A few minutes prior to the public release of this information, Ukrainian Minister of Defence Oleksiy Reznikov addressed Belarusians in Russian and urged them to distrust the provocations of the Russian aggressor and to prevent the involvement of the Belarusian army in Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.
Belarusian Ministry of Defence labelled the missile strike on villages on the border between Belarus and Ukraine a "fake".
On March 11, Lukashenko held official talks with Putin in Moscow. The Belarusian dictator told his counterpart that the Ukrainian army allegedly planned an attack on Belarus, so he thanked Russia for launching the invasion and preventing the alleged "bloody massacre." Putin, on the other hand, promised to talk about "positive developments" in the Russian delegation's talks with Ukraine. Lukashenko's spokeswoman announced that Russia was supplying modern military machinery to Belarus after his meeting in Moscow.
Ukrainian intelligence and the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces have repeatedly reported that Belarus is preparing to join the Russian occupying forces in the war against Ukraine. At the same time, the Belarusian military personnel allegedly conducted an anonymous survey of servicemen, and most of them expressed complete reluctance to fight Ukraine.
