Background: On 4 August, the Security Service of Ukraine warned that a subversive intelligence group of Russian military personnel, who are in Belarus under the guise of Wagner fighters, is preparing a provocation at the Mazyr Oil Refinery to draw Belarus into the full-scale war.
The Security Service of Ukraine has received intelligence that indicates the Russians are preparing a large-scale provocation "under a false flag".
Security Service employees received information about a planned terrorist attack in Belarus from several sources. In particular, from the testimony of a serviceman of the Russian Armed Forces who Ukrainian defenders took prisoner.
