Not a Belarusian invasion, but a Russian invasion from Belarus | News in Depth
With Russia and Belarus recently holding joint nuclear drills, questions regarding another attempt to attack Ukraine from the north arise. Is Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko ready to join the fray on Putin’s side?
“Let’s not call it an invasion from Belarus. That would be a Russian invasion from Belarus. But again… does Russia have enough soldiers for such an invasion?” Marta Shokalo, Editor-in-Chief, BBC News Ukrainian, told TVP World.
If Russia tried to open a northern front against Ukraine again, what would be Moscow’s prospects now that its stocks of equipment are depleted? To what extent is the recent use of a nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile a warning to Kyiv and to what extent to European capitals? And should Kyiv accept the possibility of some form of membership in the EU that would not give it a say in the decision-making process?
Join our host, Marie Kato, and her guest, Marta Shokalo, Editor-in-Chief of BBC News Ukrainian, as they discuss Kyiv’s European prospects, how corruption is the next biggest threat to Ukraine after Russia, and the likelihood of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin negotiating peace at one table.
