The propagandists did not report on this visit. No Russian generals were seen in the published footage of a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko, the self-proclaimed president of Belarus.

Details: Later, a government VIP plane of the Russia Special Flight Detachment (RA-09007) was spotted in Belarusian airspace. It is reported that it is heading towards Minsk.

It is not yet known who is aboard the plane.

Background:

  • The Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine does not currently observe creation of a powerful offensive group in Belarus, similar to the one that was deployed in January-February 2022.
  • Self-proclaimed Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko gathered all security forces for a meeting on 1 December, where they are discussing whether additional measures to defend and protect Belarus are needed.
