Ukraine's Security Service dismisses Belarus' claims of "mythical terrorists" in Kyiv hospitals as Russian disinformation, saying that Ukraine's defenders are heroes, not terrorists.

Today, the head of the State Security Committee of Belarus Ivan Tertel said that fighters from Kalinowski's regiment, Volat, Terror and Lytvyn battalions are allegedly preparing plans to invade Belarus and are in Kyiv. Tertel threatened to strike at Kyiv hospitals where the regiment's fighters are allegedly staying. The SBU urges to take any statements by representatives of the Belarusian authorities about mythical terrorists as a manifestation of information and psychological special operations that play into the hands of Russia, UNN reports.

SBU urges to perceive any statements by Belarusian authorities regarding mythical terrorists allegedly in Ukrainian hospitals as a manifestation of information and psychological special operations that play into the hands of Russia 

- the statement said.

The SBU emphasizes that Ukraine has been countering the enemy in a full-scale war for three years now, and all citizens understand the importance of adhering to security rules. Special services and local authorities respond to every potential threat in accordance with the established protocols of action and take all necessary measures to neutralize any negative consequences of even a theoretical threat.

We would like to emphasize that Representatives of the Belarusian regime, which has completely surrendered its country to Russia, should understand a simple thing: the people who are defending Ukraine from the occupiers are heroes, not terrorists. Because the real terrorists are in the Kremlin. And they will definitely be punished for all their crimes. The Belarusian authorities should not frighten Ukrainians with pseudo-statements, but think about how not to end up in the dock in The Hague next to the Kremlin dictator

- the SBU added.

Context

Today, the head of the Belarusian KGB, Ivan Tertel, said that fighters from Kalinowski's regiment, Volat, Terror and Lytvyn battalions are allegedly preparing plans to invade Belarus and are in Kyiv.

"We know all these people and their plans. In the fight against terrorism, we are acting under the laws of wartime. There are dead and wounded terrorists among them, and they will be punished despite the fact that they chose Kyiv hospitals at 30-32 Bohatyrska Street as their lair, where they hid behind sick children," said the head of the terrorist group.

Recall

The head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Serhiy Popko , commented on the evacuation of two medical facilities. There is currently no confirmation that Russia is actually going to attack the capital's hospitals. However, in the face of constant missile attacks, we cannot take any risks.

Due to the threat of a Russian strike, Kyiv has begun to urgently evacuate two hospitals, one of which is a children's hospital, located on Bohatyrska Street.
