On December 13, in Belarus, on behalf of Lukashenka, an unscheduled check of the combat readiness of the Armed Forces began . Before that, the commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Sergei Naev, said that Ukraine was preparing to respond due to the accumulation of allied troops in Belarus. Mutual accusations of preparing an attack by Belarus on the one hand and Ukraine on the other have been regular since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the countries refer to intelligence data.
In October, Belarus accused Ukraine of preparing an attack, and back in the spring, at a meeting with Putin, Lukashenka alluded to intelligence, according to which an attack was being prepared against Belarus - later his phrase became a meme. In July, Lukashenko said that the Ukrainian authorities want to launch a missile attack on Belarus, but so far it is from the territory of Belarus under his leadership that Russia is launching missiles at Ukrainian cities.
