Involving Belarusian soldiers in war would benefit Ukraine / Article

He explained that the people of Belarus are not as poisoned with propaganda as the people of Russia, they also often rest in Ukraine as tourists and have seen on the spot that there is no Nazism or Russophobia in Ukraine. Thus, bringing soldiers into Ukraine could provoke outrage and protests in Belarus. “This could be an impetus for Ukraine in this war,” Naglis said.

For the time being, Belarus could be involved in the war with aviation, missiles and contract troops in special units. However, this is not a large amount of strength. And if Belarus starts involving its soldiers, Naglis expects a public backlash.

According to Naglis, Russia does not have enough strength to even surround Kiev, so it will try to occupy the territory of Ukraine rather than force it to occupy the capital. Naglis said Russia now needs a victory to justify the invasion, but has failed to take control of any of Ukraine’s major cities.

At the same time, it is not known how long Ukrainian forces will be able to survive in Mariupol, which have to live without supplies from outside, defending the city on the broad front. At the same time, it is important for the Russian forces to get the city if they want to control the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. “Mariupol has become a symbol of the heroism and self-denial of the Ukrainian people,” the colonel stressed.

He also said that senior military personnel in the Ukrainian forces are well trained in schools in the West. “Unfortunately, they have to use these skills now,” Naglis said. The need to protect our land, as well as the unity of society that took place after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, certainly helps the soldiers to defend themselves.
