DISINFO: Ukrainian Azov militants are preparing to enter Belarusian territory
SUMMARY
The Kyiv regime is preparing military provocations on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border near the Volyn region, which are supposed to take place in the near future. Small groups of the Azov militants can break through the border, entering the territory of Belarus.
RESPONSE
This message is a part of the recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the Kyiv authorities of provoking Russia, looking for further escalation of the war.
The Ukrainian Army is not planning to attack the Belarusian territory or implement any military or security provocations against this country.
In an effort to deflect attention away from Russia's responsibility for the war, pro-Kremlin media routinely accuse Ukraine of having plans to implement all possible anti-Russian provocations – use of a dirty bomb, false flag attacks on chemical facilities, setting up a missile provocation in Poland, staging Bucha mass graves, etc.
