Belarus has stepped up efforts to escalate tensions on the border with Ukraine - CPJ
Kyiv • UNN
Belarus has intensified its information campaign against Ukraine, claiming a threat from it. The goal is to distract Ukrainian forces from important frontline areas amid the events in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.
Against the backdrop of the events in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, representatives of Belarus have once again started to make statements about the alleged threat from Ukraine. These statements are part of an information campaign aimed at escalating tensions on the border with Ukraine.
UNN reports with reference to the Center for Countering Disinformation.
It is reported that, in particular, the country's defense minister stated that “there is a high probability of armed provocations by Ukraine and resonant actions involving Belarusian nationalist formations.
The Belarusian minister's statement is part of an information campaign to escalate tensions on the border with Ukraine, which aims to draw Ukrainian forces away from important frontline areas to the northern border. this is not the first time that Belarus has resorted to such information attacks against Ukraine, acting in the interests of Moscow
It is noted that the calls of the self-proclaimed leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, to Kyiv and Moscow to sit down at the negotiating table and “end this fight” show that the success of the Ukrainian operation in the Kursk region causes fears, uncertainty and anxiety in Minsk about the further development of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
AddendumAddendum
Lukashenko threatens to use nuclear weaponsif foreign troops violate his country's border.
