The Belarusian Armed Forces plan to establish a Southern Operational Command. It will take over the command and coordination of the troops of the southern direction in the direction of Ukraine.
This was stated by President Alexander Lukashenko during a meeting at the Ministry of Defense on issues related to the military security of Belarus.
Unfortunately, a new direction has opened up, ie. new front. We can’t ignore this thing, we’ve already commented on it. Even before that, the Minister of Defense proposed that we open a new operational command – on the southern flank, with a southern direction.
This happened last year. Then we realized that we had to do something, but the events happened very quickly and everything was dynamic. This shows that we must act immediately to create such a direction. “Along with the west and northwest, there will also be a south wing,” Lukashenko said.
The President of the country stated that even to date, without such an official direction being created, the military has to constantly and quickly prepare the defense on the southern flank and on the move.
“You see everything – there is a rotation of the armed forces, special operations forces (for the western and northwestern direction) and battalion tactical groups. By my order, they are already headed south.
We have to make this rotation, I am categorical. This is wartime, but so far no war. I receive information that our boys are behaving with dignity. “We need to plan everything in these conditions so that we know how to act,” Lukashenko said.
