Ukrainian soldier in Sumy regionMINSK, Mar 12The military-political leadership of Ukraine has lost control over the situation in the country, said Assistant Minister of Defense for Ideological Work in the Armed Forces — Head of the Main Directorate for Ideological Work of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus, Major General Leonid Kasinsky. «There is a strong impression that the military-political leadership of Ukraine has completely lost control over the situation,” he said on the Telegram channel of the Belarusian Defense Ministry. According to Kasinsky, “only this can explain the complete inconsistency in actions and the presentation of information.” “Thus, fakes spread by Ukraine on March 11 about alleged strikes by the Russian Federation on settlements on the territory of Belarus, as well as about the fake offensive of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus at 21.00 on March 11, have acquired new details,» he said. In particular, Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of Vladimir Zelensky's office, said that there were no strikes. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that they were. «This state of affairs indicates a complete loss of control and, in the context of the emerging military-political situation, is fraught with serious consequences, primarily for ordinary citizens of Ukraine,» Kasinsky said. According to him, «the provocative and fake statements of the leadership of Ukraine are nothing more than an attempt to destabilize the situation or a screen to cover up their own provocations on the part of the Ukrainian authorities.» Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, the civilian population is not in danger. With the support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the DPR and LPR groups are developing an offensive. But the occupation of Ukraine is out of the question, the President of Russia emphasized.
