Belarus has announced its readiness to send "peacekeepers" to Ukraine
The head of the Department of International Military Cooperation and Peacekeeping Activities of the Special Operations Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Belarus, Alexei Skabey, said that Belarusian peacekeepers are ready to be deployed in Ukraine if necessary.
This was reported by Radio Liberty, citing an interview with Skabey on the state television channel STV, according to Censor.NET.
According to the military official, the possibility of a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine depends on the decision of both sides of the conflict.
"It all depends not only on us. It depends on how the parties will decide among themselves. We are always ready to provide them with assistance at the request of both parties," Skabe said.
What preceded it?
In January, Alexander Lukashenko stated that only Belarusian peacekeepers could ensure normal relations between Ukraine and Russia.
He later said that Russia would allegedly never agree to the deployment of peacekeepers from European Union countries in Ukraine.
