Zelensky warns: Russia is preparing a military aggression against Belarus

President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia is preparing a possible military aggression under the guise of joint exercises with Belarus this summer.

"Look at Belarus - this summer, Russia is preparing something there under the guise of military exercises. This is how its new attacks usually begin. But where this time? I don't know. Ukraine? Lithuania? Poland? God forbid! But we all need to be prepared. All our institutions are open for cooperation," Zelensky said, according to Suspilne.

Belarus will host the Zapad 2025 military exercises with Russian forces, part of a long series of exercises held every two years since 2009.

The most recent exercise, Zapad-2021, involved over 200,000 participants and served as a prelude to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Despite not being directly involved in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Belarus continues to host Russian troops and missiles on its territory.

Belarus shares borders with Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Russia, positioning it as a key strategic corridor between NATO and Moscow.

Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi previously said that the upcoming Zapad exercises could enable Russia to secretly assemble offensive forces under the guise of the exercises./CNA
