The information that is actively spread by the media about the allegedly possible "repeated offensive from Belarus" is part of the Russian information warfare, the Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov said during a telethon, UNIAN reports.

"Everything that is happening in our media space related to Belarus is an outcome of the Russian special information operation. The main goal is to spread panic in the society and draw our forces and means away from real combat operations on the front line," he said.

Budanov noted that the Russians are currently transferring to Belarus means aimed at defence, not offence.

"It will not happen now, I have been saying it since the summer, Belarus will not attack," he said.
