Verbatim: "Any Belarusian soldier who crosses the border with Ukraine will be terminated."

"Belarusian people definitely do not need this. Only Putin needs this."

"The Russian president is forcing Aleksandr Lukashenko to order the Belarusian army to invade [Ukrainian territory- ed.]. However, he (Lukashenko -ed.) understands that this will become a failure for Belarus."

Details: Oleksiy Danilov added that Russia is already using the territory of Belarus to support its aggression against Ukraine, but Russia wants to drag Belarusians into the war even further.

Oleksiy Danilov said that "Ruscism", which has been ignored for over 20 years, has led to the outbreak of World War III. He called on businesses in European countries to stop financing armed aggression, to abandon any cooperation with Russia and to stop paying taxes to a country that commits mass executions of civilians.

Background:

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that there was a high risk of Belarusian troops getting involved in the Russian war against Ukraine on the morning of March 20. ‘Ukrainska Pravda’ contacts in law enforcement agencies confirmed this intelligence collected by the Ukrainian intelligence services, but assured UP that the Belarusian military has no experience in conducting hostilities and has a low morale.

The self-proclaimed President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, has already dragged Belarus into the Russian war against Ukraine, as he is providing the Russian occupying forces with military facilities located in Belarus.

Belarus announced that 5 battalion tactical groups were sent to the border with Ukraine on march 12 to replace military personnel. The Belarusian authorities denied that this is a part of their preparations to join the war on the side of the Russian Federation, and labelled the transfer of troops a ‘rotation’.

Journalists and activists are constantly recording the movement of military machinery on the territory of Belarus. This machinery includes ‘BMP’ armoured combat vehicles, tanks, and trucks carrying Iskander missiles.

It was reported that helicopter training flights of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Air Force of Belarus were taking place over Minsk in the evening on March 17. The pilots practised not only flights, but also engaged in  attack simulations.
