The leader of the Belarusian opposition, Svitlana Tikhanouskaya, believes that there is a real threat of increased Russian provocations against Ukraine from the territory of Belarus. — Ukrinform.
She said this in a comment to Ukrinform on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
"Of course, it's real," she said. – If Russia at some point wants to attack Ukraine again in any way from the northern border, then (self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander) Lukashenko will be very happy to provide territory, logistics, Belarusian infrastructure, to help (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin in his goals and intentions. "
According to her, the hope that Lukashenko can be removed from Putin is useless. "This is impossible, because they have such a special symbiotic friendship, they use each other, they need each other," the oppositionist explained.
She also pointed out that the Belarusian infrastructure – “logistics, antennas for directing drones – are already used, and at any moment, if the Kremlin needs it, Belarusian capacities will be used.”
According to Tsikhanouskaya, repeaters are installed not only along the border with Ukraine, but also on the border with the countries of the European Union. "That is, escalation or provocation can be not only against Ukraine, but also against European countries. And, of course, it is necessary to closely monitor what is happening in Belarus, "she said.
