June 22, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>The Warsaw-based National Anticrisis Management (NAM) led by opposition politician Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka documented Belarus\u2019 transformation into Russia\u2019s \u201cmilitary springboard\u201d and shared a detailed report to that effect with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141atu\u0161ka timed the move to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s recent ultimatum, which gave Belarusian authorities one week to dismantle drone control relay systems allegedly used to facilitate Russian attacks on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 30-page document outlines key indicators that Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s regime is \u201cactively preparing either to enter a direct military conflict or to provide its territory for new attacks,\u201d the opposition transition cabinet said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report noted the end of Belarus\u2019 neutral and non-nuclear status, as well as the 2024 military doctrine, which reportedly allows for preemptive strikes and large-scale deployments of forces. The number of contract soldiers has increased significantly since 2022, while the mobilization reserve is estimated at 289,000, the NAM said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus has increased defense spending fivefold over the past four years, with its defense industry \u201cfully integrated with Russia\u201d and operating under strict secrecy, the report noted. More than 4,000 pieces of military equipment were reportedly taken into service in 2024 alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document also cited the establishment of the Southern Operational Command, with troop strength potentially exceeding 80,000, as well as the formation of \u201cpeople\u2019s militias\u201d and the adoption of Russian-style practices, including SMS draft notices and the recruitment of convicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus hosts Russian troops, tactical nuclear weapons and the Oreshnik missile system, while Belarusian servicemen are trained by Russian mercenaries, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities have doubled mandatory reserves of petroleum products to 30 days of supply, while the defense ministry has expanded the list of civilian equipment subject to requisition under martial law, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Minsk has continued to conduct large-scale military exercises, which the report described as aimed at \u201ccovertly verifying mobilization lists and maintaining a high level of psychological tension in society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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
