Quote: "As of today, the situation on the territory of Belarus does not pose a direct threat of any ground action against Ukraine."
Details: Naiev states that Ukraine maintains contact with western partners, in particular, with the US and Poland, and Ukraine’s intelligence is also constantly working. The received information indicates that the grouping of Belarusian troops along the border with Ukraine currently "has not changed either quantitatively or qualitatively".
Naiev assured that the Ukrainian troops feel calm, and are gradually increasing their defence capabilities and improving military training.
Background: The US Defence Ministry sees no signs that Belarus is preparing to enter the war against Ukraine, despite its participation in joint military drills with the Russian Federation.
On Monday, Russia and Belarus are planning joint drills for aviation units, which will take place on the territory of Belarus. The drills are planned to take place from 16 January to 1 February, with the involvement of Russian and Belarusian forces.
