Ogryzko is panicking: Russia is pincering Ukraine
The troops of the Russian Federation on the territory of Belarus will do whatever they want.
Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Volodymyr Ohryzko stated this on the air of Novoye Vremya radio, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Ogryzko, now Russian troops will be able to operate unhindered throughout Belarus, so Ukraine must be prepared for an attack from the northern direction.
“Unfortunately, we are now effectively caught in a pincer movement. That is, from the north, and from the east, and from the south, Ukraine is surrounded by the real de facto Russian Federation, because, believe me, Putin will in no way ask Lukashenko. And if he asks, he will certainly receive consent to transfer his troops to wherever Putin needs them. That is, along the same more than a thousand kilometers border line.
Therefore, I hope that our government realistically assesses the threats that arose not yesterday or the day before yesterday, in connection with this aggravation, but for a long time. I think that our armed forces should also be able to fight back on the northern section of our border. Because the strategic partnership between Russia and Belarus in the military and military-political sphere provides for the fact that Russian troops will do what they want on the territory of Belarus at any moment and at any time,” Ogryzko said.
