President Alexander Lukashenko has allowed Belarus to serve as a staging ground for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but has so far kept his own army from joining it.
Ukrainian officials have also said they think Russia did not have enough troops in Belarus to assault from there yet, and action near the border could be intended instead as a decoy.
"We cannot exclude the possibility that a decision has been made that Belarus could join the war. I don't know whether this has happened, but from a military indicators point of view, everything is pointing toward Belarusian armed forces taking a more belligerent stance." "They will have less aviation equipment after being damaged due to these mysterious explosions," said Yurii Ihnat, spokesperson for the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "This is undoubtedly excellent news because if one or two aircraft fail, then in the future, some more aircraft may fail in some way. This reduces their capabilities."
Many of the bodies documented in the new report bore signs that the victims might have been intentionally killed, the report found.Meanwhile, the government in Kyiv and the Western countries that have backed it with billions in military aid are scrambling along with the United Nations and aid groups to get blankets, insulation, generators, medical supplies, cash and more essentials into the invaded country as winter looms.
Sporadic electricity has widespread impacts. It deprives people of warmth from electric space heaters, steady light in the evenings and power for the millions of electronic devices and computers in a highly digitized country — and thus for livelihoods.
