The aggressor countries, according to the department, will not be able to take offensive actions even after the arrival of additional forces in the form of mobilized citizens. There are not enough troops to carry out a new invasion of north of Ukraine. This is stated in the report of the UK Ministry of Defense of December 15. The department reminds that on December 13, after the order of Alexander Lukashenko, a sudden inspection of the combat capability of regular troops of the republic began.

Military exercises are conducted in the northwest of the country, far from the border with Ukraine. The UK intelligence reminded that the Russian Federation recently relocated to Belarus additional units equipped with mobilized citizens. The department believes that aggressor countries still do not have a shock group that could make a new invasion in the north of Ukraine. "Belarus has played a key role in the offensive of the Russian Federation in Kyiv from February 24, 2022.

However, at present, Belarusian troops and Russian units are unlikely to form forces capable of drawing a new successful offensive to the north of Ukraine," - added British intelligence officers in their report. We will remind that on December 13, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko ordered a sudden check of the battle readiness of the troops. After the decree in the territory of Belarus, the movement of equipment in the direction of the border with Ukraine was recorded.
