He added that any provocations by Minsk would be a mistake for Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka and his officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"insert-block\">\n\n    <div class=\"insert-block__img\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"354\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ukraina-gerb-1128-pixabay-354x236.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ukraina-gerb-1128-pixabay-354x236.jpg 354w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ukraina-gerb-1128-pixabay-734x490.jpg 734w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ukraina-gerb-1128-pixabay-178x118.jpg 178w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ukraina-gerb-1128-pixabay-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ukraina-gerb-1128-pixabay.jpg 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/>                        <label class=\"insert-block__tag--mobile\"> Politics<\/label>\n\n                            <label class=\"insert-block__tag--mobile\"> Security<\/label>\n\n                <\/div>\n    <div class=\"insert-block__text\">\n                    <label class=\"insert-block__tag\">Politics, Security<\/label>\n                <h3 class=\"insert-block__title\">Ukraine recognizes services of Belarusian troopers<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"insert-block__descr\">April 14, Pozirk.
