Propaganda resources are disseminating information that in connection with the active actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Belarusian border guards, as well as the Air Forces and air defense systems of Belarus and Russia, have been put on high alert. In asserting this, propagandists refer to the corresponding statement by the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Lukashenko.

In fact, this statement was made as part of an information operation about Ukraine’s alleged preparation of an attack on Belarus in several directions. The Belarusian dictator Lukashenko, together with his minions, continues to whip up hysteria around the fictitious “accumulation of Ukrainian troops in the border areas with Belarus”.

The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security writes that in fact, Lukashenko, as an accomplice of Russian aggression, has been systematically threatening Ukraine since February 24, 2022, as well as other countries, in particular Poland and Lithuania. Such threats are intended to intimidate Belarus’ neighbors, as well as to draw part of the Ukrainian Defense Forces away from the front line to the Ukrainian-Belarusian border.
