There are a number of signs.
A number of factors may indicate the formation of a new level of threat to Ukraine from the northern direction. Belarus, according to former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, is training under the supervision of Russian "curators." He stated this in a video published on YouTube, writes "Focus".
At the same time, as Kuleba emphasized, there are no signs that an offensive may take place in the near future.
Military training
According to him, since the beginning of 2026, Belarus has seen an increase in military activity - there is "continuous combat training of the Belarusian army units." Although this is not a direct threat in itself, in combination with other factors, the situation takes on a different character.
A Emphasis on mobilization
Another sign Kuleba called the activation of the topic of mobilization readiness of not only the army, but the country as a whole. In particular, we are talking about reports about the signing of a decree on conscription of reserve officers. He noted that such measures have been taken before, but now they should be considered in conjunction with other events.
Lukashenko's actions
According to the former Foreign Minister, Alexander Lukashenko demonstrates the country's preparation for possible actions. At the same time, he considers public statements and trips less important, while large-scale command and staff exercises indicate a more serious level of preparation.
"Command and military maneuvers on a large scale are not just about maintaining combat capability, but about practicing interaction at the level of headquarters and units," said Kuleba.
Boosting air defense
Another factor is the build-up of air defense systems, which may indicate preparations for possible strikes on the country's territory.
"What can fly there? Obviously, long-range drones and missiles. That's what air defense systems are for," he explained.
According to him, Russia assists Belarus in strengthening air defense.
Coordination with Russia
Kuleba also noted the strengthening of interaction between the armies of the two countries - not only at the level of units, but also in terms of coordination and coordination of plans.
In the aggregate, these factors, in his opinion, may indicate preparations for a possible escalation, especially against the background of Lukashenko's public statements about readiness for war.
"If we consider these factors separately, they do not look critical. But together they add up to a picture of preparation," he said.
At the same time, Kuleba believes that the Belarusian leadership understands the risks of a possible invasion and Ukraine's readiness for defense.
"I see no signs that the offensive will start right now, but what is happening looks like preparation for military escalation," he concluded.
