Pavel Sverdlov, editor-in-chief of the European Radio for Belarus, has noted that Belarus will not be able to carry out a hidden mobilization so that it could not be noticed

He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"There is no hidden mobilization in Belarus, but everyone has been listed. Military commissariats reported that they had checked the data of 95% of conscripts and reservists, respectively, only 5% were not found. But I will say that to trust the official Belarusian statistics is to disrespect yourself and what the military commissariats tell us should be divided by two. In my opinion, they were able to find a maximum of 15%, but nevertheless they are ready to issue summonses. That is, at any time people can start receiving summonses at the addresses where they live," commented the editor-in-chief of European Radio for Belarus.

Pavel Sverdlov noted that there will be no hidden mobilization, because Belarus will not be able to carry it out covertly, so that Ukraine could not notice it.

"Mobilization will be a clear step that will indicate the preparation of an offensive from Belarus, but so far it has not happened. And now there is only training on the territory of Belarus of the Russian military, who stand in tent camps, live in barracks, Russian equipment and instructors come to them. This is the current participation of Belarus in the war, and we remember how Lukashenko assured everyone that Belarus is not involved in the war, but this does not prevent Lukashenko from helping Putin to train the Russian mobilized troops to kill Ukrainians. We understand that after a certain period of training they will all be at the front line, where Russia now lacks personnel," Sverdlov said.

  • On January 14, two more echelons with Russian personnel and equipment reportedly arrived in Belarus.
  • On January 16, tactical aviation exercises with Russia started in Belarus, involving all its airfields and training grounds.
  • Spokesman for the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuriy Ihnat noted that joint aviation exercises with Russia in Belarus do not pose a threat to Ukraine yet.
