They are accumulating provisions, fully preparing the territory of Belarus for possible outgoing missile strikes. And they are moving troops, changing their strategies a bit, looking for weak spots in our defenses to hit these areas," she said.

As previously reported, Hanna Maliar noted that capturing southern and eastern regions is seen in Russia as their strategic goal before trying again to grab the whole of Ukraine.
