This was already announced last year if you remember. But by now, a lot of Russian troops spotted e.g. in Bryansk. I would not be surprised if a large amount of them will end up in #Belarus.

And i said it before, i always believed #Belarus will play a role in a possible action on #Ukraine this time. Weather it's a passive or an active role, we will see.

Belarusian General Staff: "The build-up of the military contingent near the Belarusian borders causes concern and requires an objective response"

Belarusian General Staff: "Together with our Russian colleagues, we will conduct a surprise readiness check of the forces. At the final stage of this event, an exercise will take place."

Expect Belarusian / Russian troop deployments any time now

Belarusian General Staff: The task of the Polish military near the Belarusian border can only be provocations. Threats of the migration crisis have nothing to do with.

Russian troops are already arriving in #Belarus, says secretary of its Security Council Alexander Volfovich. A Russian train with military equipment was seen in Kolodishchi heading towards #Minsk.

#Belarus, Gomel: Reportedly a column of Belarusian MLRS "Hurricane" is moving towards the highway to Chernihiv. [i can just spot the loading vehicles]

Smolensk station yesterday. Echelons are standing with locomotives in the direction of #Belarus guarded by armed people. The pictures were taken around 16:00.

Well that was even faster than expected tbh. Seems like trains were already prepared to move in yesterday. Dangerous development.

So we have Russian troops from the far east in #Belarus now and some people still say this is totally normal and nothing to worry about. Smh.

Comments on TikTok: A woman writes that her soldier son recently left Lesozavodsk with his unit's vehicles, having signed a "paper" (possibly a none-disclosure agreement). Many other comments left by soldiers and their acquaintances mention deployment to #Belarus.
