The Ukrainian military emphasized that in the event of an open entry of Belarus into the war in Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will give a strong response to this step.
The Ukrainian military called on the citizens and military of Belarus not to follow the criminal orders of Lukashenka and Putin to participate in the war against Ukraine.
The corresponding video appeared on the Facebook page of the Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Armed Forces noted that the two nations have been linked by friendship and good-neighborly relations for centuries, but today the leadership of Belarus is preparing to join the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine and drag the Belarusian people into a dirty war.
Under the guise of checks, a covert mobilization of citizens began in Belarus to man a group of troops joint with Russia on the borders with Ukraine. The Armed Forces emphasize that Ukraine has never threatened and does not threaten Belarus today.
The Armed Forces emphasize that since February 24, the territory of Belarus has been used by the Russians to launch missile, air and artillery strikes on Ukraine. Russia tried to attack Kyiv from the territory of Belarus. At the same time, Ukraine has not yet responded to such aggressive actions.
«We value the friendship between our peoples more than the opportunity to respond to the criminal decisions of your leadership,» the Armed Forces emphasized.
The Ukrainian military says that Lukashenko is trying to cover up the possibility of Belarus joining the war against our country with his accusations against Ukraine.
«Even if the Belarusian servicemen refuse to fight against the fraternal Ukrainian people, the Russian part of the general group can drag them along. If the army of Belarus supports Russian aggression, we will respond. We will respond as harshly as we respond to all occupiers on the territory of Ukraine, using the entire arsenal of weapons, with strikes on military facilities on the territory of your country,» the appeal reads.
