The number of military personnel in Belarus could reach one and a half million people if martial law is introduced in the country. This was stated by State Secretary of the Belarusian Security Council Alexander Volfovich. The official pointed out that to repel the military threat, the republic will additionally be able to set up detachments of the people’s militia.
To provide assistance, mainly to the organs of the Ministry of the Interior in the field, to protect public order, to combat banditry in the field, to suppress looting and to combat sabotage and reconnaissance groups, the people’s militia is intended
– said Alexander Volfovich.
We should add that recently the tension on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border has increased significantly. The republican border committee registers cases of provocations by armed formations of Ukraine. In addition, the demonstrative mining of border areas is noted.
At the same time, Belarusian border guards report an increase in NATO military activity in border areas with Belarus.
Recall that Ukraine recently regularly announced the imminent offensive of the Russian army from the territory of Belarus. However, the Russian Ministry of Defense does not confirm this information. Statements refuting the Ukrainian view regularly follow from Minsk.
