Ukraine’s invasion in Kursk has raised the possibility of an armed provocation of Belarus, according to the Belarusian defence minister.
Viktor Khrenin’s said the situation at the border remained “tense”, in comments quoted by the state-run Belta news agency.
“Given the presence of Ukrainian armed formations in the border areas, there is a high probability of preparing and carrying out armed provocations on our territory, as well as high-profile actions, including with the involvement of Belarusian nationalist formations,” he was cited as saying.
It comes after Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a key ally of Vladimir Putin, warned yesterday that Kyiv could attack his country and widen the war.
