Budanov told under what condition an attack from Belarus is possible
Russia has not abandoned plans to attack Ukraine from the side of Belarus - Budanov.
The head of Ukrainian intelligence believes that at this time Belarus should not expect an attack. However, the threat will increase after the Ukrainians liberate Kherson from the Russian occupiers, Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, said in an interview with The Drive .
This combat-ready grouping of the Russian Federation in Kherson, after leaving Kherson, will be partially redeployed to the Zaporozhye direction, but some of them may move north to Belarus and create a threat there
He explained that the attack by Belarus implies a break in the logistics routes between Ukraine and Europe. The head of the GUR clarified:
It can be said that this is the cherished dream of the Russian Federation
However, according to him, now the presence of Russian troops in Belarus is negligible:
If we talk about Russian military activities in Belarus, then now the presence of the Russian military in Belarus is not so great. There are only about 4,300 troops there. And they are very limited. This group is very limited in heavy weapons systems and the majority - about 80% of the group - are mobilized personnel.
