Belarusian army faces powerful information attack against background of Ukrainian events

3 марта 2022
It's very profitable for someone to make Belarus look like an aggressor. The Internet is literally full of junk mail saying that our army has invaded or is about to invade Ukraine. Those who are publishing such fakes do not seem to realize the extent to which it can be detrimental in the current situation. 

It is impossible not to talk about Ukraine right now, because people are dying. Ukraine is in the minds and hearts of every person who cares. But this is precisely what the forces are trying to exploit - anxiety, depression, and even confusion. Their aim is not to stop the bloodshed, but to use it to their own advantage, primarily political. That is why the opposition sought to link even the referendum on the Constitution in Belarus to the events in Ukraine. However, the obvious fact that the most effective steps to stop the war were taken by the head of state Alexander Lukashenko, who organized the negotiations, is rejected. 

Social networks are full of appeals not to follow orders, to ignore commanders, not to go to Ukraine. Any military man, even if he isn't quite adequate, will tell you that Belarus certainly doesn't make ant preparations for aggression. But the country is saving the West from a temptation to hit the Russians and turn the conflict into a planetary one. Someday the mothers of ordinary soldiers who do not go to war will be thankful for this.
