Belarus MASSES Troops on Ukraine’s Border!
Video Summary
Belarus is concentrating personnel, including special operations forces, tanks, artillery, MLRS, and air defense systems near the city of G, which is approximately 30 km from the Russia-Ukraine border. Vagner PM PMC troops were also present in the area. It’s unclear what potential “misunderstanding” could lead to such a buildup.
Belarus claims this is purely defensive, but it’s hard to believe, as Belarus is effectively a Russian proxy state, hosting Russian troops and missiles. Lukashenko, Belarus’ leader, has been clear in his opposition to direct involvement in Ukraine, repeating that Russian President Putin has tried to persuade him to do so, but he has refused.
The powers at play here are complex and intriguing. Putin wants to redraw the map of Ukraine, using Belarus as a pawn. By massing troops, Belarus is essentially asking Ukraine to respond, which would ultimately benefit Russia. The US and the West must be wary of this potential pretext for war.
