Russia is preparing a provocation to justify the deployment of Belarusian troops along the Pinsk-Ivanava-Drahichyn route, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports, citing data from the Main Intelligence Agency.

According to available intelligence data, there are currently about 300 units of Belarusian tanks near the Belarusian-Ukrainian border.
