Details: Reportedly, another convoy of Russian military equipment arrived.
It departed from the Misiash railway station from Chelyabinsk Oblast in Russia on 11 December and arrived at the Osipovichi-1 railway station on Mogilev Oblast in Belarus. The train brought nearly 50 new Ural trucks. Unloading started at 4:30 in the morning of that very same day.
Belaruski Hajun suggests that this military equipment is used as a supply for the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Russia at the Osipovichi polygon in Belarus.
A military convoy also arrived at the Polonka station from the Misiash station on 11 December with the same pieces of military equipment – 30 new Ural trucks.
Why it is important: Russia has in fact occupied Belarus – Putin is using the territory of Belarus for deployment of his troops, launching attacks on Ukraine, treating injured soldiers. Lukashenko has in fact become Putin’s puppet – he supports all his actions, is constantly talking about the "allied state" and is repeating the narrative of the Kremlin about the war against Ukraine, negotiations with Zelenskyy, an alleged threat from the collective West or NATO.
Meanwhile, the Byelorussian troops are not actively fighting against Ukraine for now.
Alexander Lukashenko, the self-proclaimed President of Belarus, still believes that he rules the country which is de facto occupied by Russia.
Background:
- Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, is planning to visit Minsk, the capital of Belarus, with a broad government delegation on 19 December. At first a meeting with participation of all Ministers will be held, then a private meeting of Lukashenko and Putin, then a press conference.
- Reportedly, the sides will be discussing "the process of putting into action the allied programs, approved earlier", specifically trade and economic cooperation and joint projects "with an emphasis on import substitution industrialisation", cooperation in the energy sector and security issues.
- Serhii Naev, the Commander of the United Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that the aim of Vladimir Putin’s visit to Belarus will be to discuss a broader involvement of the Armed Forces of Belarus into the war against Ukraine.
