Quote: "And look at Belarus – Russia is preparing something there this summer, using military drills as cover. That's usually how they start a new attack. But where will it go? I don't know. Ukraine? Lithuania? Poland? God forbid! But we all need to be ready. All our institutions are open for cooperation."

Background: 

  • Zelenskyy stated that Russia plans to train 15 divisions consisting of 100,000-150,000 troops to strengthen the Belarusian front in 2025.
  • Exercises involving the so-called regional grouping of troops of Belarus and Russia will take place in Belarus in 2025.
