Russians are to conduct a large-scale provocation on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border — the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

The purpose of the provocation is to create negative public opinion towards Ukraine and ensure the full participation of the Armed Forces of Belarus in the war on the side of Russia.

Several groups of Russians are arriving in Belarus. They are likely to threaten the destruction of infrastructure and possible civilian casualties.

Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov is to arrive in Belarus to provide detailed coverage of the provocation.

On March 11, it is planned to organise a TV and radio bridge and a live broadcast from the scene for Russian propaganda media.

The Main Directorate of Intelligence notes that Ukraine conducts no combat operations in Belarus.

In its latest report, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that no offensive groups of Russian troops were detected in the Volyn, Polissia, Siversk and Slobozhansk directions.
