They have video of the troops entering into Ukraine from Belarus into Ukraine.
It's unclear if they were Russian or Belarusian or both.
Just as our intel predicted it is unfolding.
Being reported by the bbc now.
Ukraine: Troops moving in from Belarus
Multiple reports are now quoting Ukrainian officials as saying troops in Belarus are joining the Russian attack, meaning the offensive is now also coming from Ukraine's north.
Belarus, which is on Ukraine's northern border, has long been allied with Russia. Analysts describe the small country as Russia's "client state".
The attack from the north adds to Russia's attacks on Ukraine's east, and Russian troop movement on Odessa in the south.

(19,560 posts)I believe the next step will be cyber attacks and massive sanctions on Russia from all of NATO.
We shall see how effective such actions can actually be in our modern world very shortly.
The Russian stock market suspended trading and the ruble has hit modern lows against other currencies.

It's close to Kyiv. Either Belarus has opened the door for Russian troops to enter there, or they're also moving into Ukraine to assist Russia. Either way, they're also a force here now involved in the attack on Ukraine. As was assumed they would be when this was put into motion.

Eff Russia. They will NEVER recover from this assault. No one will want to do business with them, no one will trust them, no one will want to associate with them. It's not the people, it is their stinking government.
Big mistake, Russia.

(6,509 posts)And since Poland is sitting there, he'll go for them as well. He's reinforced Kaliningrad, so he can attack from both sides of Poland.
If only the UN would get its shit together and stand up for Ukraine.
