However, the Ukrainian military is considering possible options for aggression in the coming months, but for this Russia needs to deploy the appropriate capabilities.

“At this point, there is no immediate threat. The Russians do not have the appropriate capabilities. On the territory that is the border between Ukraine and Belarus, there are certain groups. But given our potential, it is unlikely that they will succeed. All that is being done now is restraining our forces on the northern border so that we cannot transfer them to the east,” Pavlyuk said.
He noted that “there is also an occupation of Belarus by military forces stationed at landfills, most likely for a long time. And there will be no future for Belarus as an independent country.”
“We are considering possible options for aggression in the coming months. But to do this, it is necessary to transfer the appropriate forces and means that Russia is now restoring at their training grounds. So far, we do not see such intentions, but we are preparing for them,” Pavlyuk said.
