Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the Ukrainian president, said Russia intended to involve Belarus in the ongoing war to cover up its lack of military capabilities. Speaking to his official Twitter account, Podolyak said Russia demanded the military get rid of Belarus for its military offensive in Ukraine. Podolyak’s statement comes as the war between Russia and Ukraine has continued for more than 130 days.
Advisor to the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak, tweeted: “Russia needs the elimination of the Belarusian army and the loss of power of the Lukashenko regime. Then the absorption of the RB and its occupation by the Russian z-zombies.” The Ukrainian Armed Forces claimed to have liquidated 37,570 Russian soldiers since the start of the military conflict.
In addition to this, the Russian armed forces suffered the loss of 3832 armored fighting machines, 676 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1649 tanks and 109 anti-aircraft warfare systems among other military equipment.
Moscow’s desire to cover up its lack of military capabilities is behind attempts to involve Belarus in the war. Russia needs the elimination of the Belarusian army and the loss of power of the Lukashenko regime. Then – absorption of the RB and its occupation by the Russian z-zombies.
