The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation is conducting a special operation on the territory of Belarus to dress Belarusian servicemen in the military uniform of the Russian Federation for their invasion of Ukraine, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov has said.

"Today, a special operation is being developed on the territory of Belarus by the Russian Federation. Today they have a great desire to put on the Belarusian military in Russian military uniforms. Some Belarusians are refusing to fight against our country. Today, Belarusians are being persuaded to change into Russian uniforms and enter our territory dressed as Russian soldiers," Danilov said during the telethon on Sunday.

According to him, Ukraine is fully prepared for such a scenario.

"But I warn you: if we find Belarusians here, they will receive the same rebuff that Russians and Chechens have today," he said.
