Up to 13,000 Belarusian active and former military have signed an agreement to participate in the war against Ukraine.
This was announced by Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexey Gromov during a briefing.
According to him, Russia continues to draw Belarus into a full-scale war.
"Six battalions of the Armed Forces of Belarus are deployed along the state border of Ukraine and are performing tasks in the areas bordering Ukraine. According to available data, Russia continues to draw Belarus into a full-scale war against Ukraine. According to preliminary data, up to 13 thousand people from among the active and former military units of the Belarusian special operations forces and OMON signed an agreement to participate in the war against Ukraine," Gromov said.
He explained that the main motivation for Belarusians is the material reward for participating in the war, since "there is no ideological foundation in the actions of the occupiers and no one believes in denazification."
