Belarusians do not want to go to war in Ukraine, so they are persuaded by military attacks, political scientist Viktor Ukolov

Ukolov added: “There are a few reasons why the Belarusian soldiers don't want to fight with Ukrainians. First, the relationships between Belarusians and Ukrainians are more friendly than with Russians. Second, the Belarusian soldiers are afraid of going there because of those 12,000 killed invaders. Some of the injured invaders are passing through Belarus and it is also impossible to hide. Most likely, the Belarusian army will be used as cannon fodder. Because after a direct confrontation with the Armed Forces, now the Russian army completely avoids such a contact”.

Also the political scientist noted: “Once the Russian propaganda spoke of a special operation “peace enforcement”, in this case using their terminology there was an operation to force Belarus to take part in the war with Ukraine. First of all, it means Belarusians don't want to fight with Ukrainians, otherwise such an operation is unnecessary”.
