Russia may launch an offensive against the Chernihiv region from the direction of the Russian Federation’s Bryansk region, as Syrskyi said. He noted that one of the possible scenarios involves the Russian Armed Forces using Belarus territory, but not from the direction of Kyiv.

Syrskyi said that the Russian General Staff is carrying out preparations for launching offensive operations, including the possibility of using forces in Belarus. He also noted that Russia may be trying to create the impression that it is not planning to use Belarus territory, but rather that it is planning an attack on Ukraine from the direction of the Kyiv region.

According to the commander-in-chief, the Russian General Staff is preparing for offensive operations, including the possibility of using forces in Belarus. He noted that Russia may be trying to create the impression that it is not planning to use Belarus territory, but rather that it is planning an attack on Ukraine from the direction of the Kyiv region.

Earlier, the head of the General Staff, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said that Belarus would be drawn into the war against Ukraine, in particular, if Russia’s offensive plans were to be carried out. He said that Belarus’s involvement would be possible if Russia were to use Belarus territory for launching attacks, and that Ukraine must be ready for this.

On April 22, the Belarusian Armed Forces began moving troops to the border with Ukraine, which was reported by the media.

When asked why Belarus President Oleksandr Lukashenkо said he does not want to fight against Ukraine.
