According to him, Ukraine has concentrated troops on the border with Belarus because it expects an offensive from near Gomel, as happened at the beginning of the war.

“And they began to move up to 120 thousand military personnel. In response, I was forced to move almost a third of the army in addition to strengthen what was there,” said the politician.

He also added that Belarus has created a reliable defense line that will stop a possible offensive from the western direction.
