He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"Belarusian units are rapidly training in Belarus. Recently, the 103rd Airborne Brigade has been training. Another 500 soldiers were added to the brigade's staff. I do not rule out that a strike group consisting exclusively of Belarusian military may be created," Bulba said.

According to the founder of the White Legion, the Belarusian group may include 4 mechanized brigades and 3 Special Forces brigades.

"Many people are being mobilized now. In addition to military equipment, which is now being deconsolidated, civilian equipment is also being mobilized. Belarus can mobilize 4 mechanized brigades and 3 Special Forces brigades. If we estimate the number of people, each mechanized brigade has between 4,000 and 5,000 soldiers. And each Special Forces brigade has about 2,000 soldiers. The Belarusian group may have about 30,000, which may be involved in the war," added Bulba.

  • According to the Belarusian Hajun monitoring group, the training of the armed forces of Russia and Belarus has been going on for more than 50 weeks at the Belarusian training grounds, and now the training has been extended at least until April 17.

  • On the night of April 5 to 6, an echelon with at least 20 units of Belarusian military equipment arrived at the Gundagai railway station, 9 km from the border with Lithuania. Belarus moved 10 to 15 T-72B/B3 tanks, as well as armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, and MT-LBs to the border with Lithuania. However, the Lithuanian army has not recorded any increased threats on its border.

  • Belarus proposes to bring the practice of conscripting students back, as the USSR did during the war in Afghanistan.
