Briefly.

The hijacking of the Ryanair flight and the reaction of the international cooperation accelerated the political, economic, military and informational drift of Belarus towards Russia. Experts observe how official media outlets in Belarus are becoming exact clones of their Russian counterparts, including by copying and broadcasting anti-Ukrainian messages and rhetoric of Russian propaganda.

 

Russian special services are freely operating on the territory of Belarus, Russian troops are being accumulated and stocks of weapons and military equipment are being built. In the autumn of 2021, an active phase of Russian-Bilorussian military training “WEST 2021” is planned on the territory of Belarus.
