The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
Psalm 14:2

Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine released the following statement (abbreviated by me):
According to data from Ukrainian intelligence agencies, the Republic of Belarus’ armed forces are concentrating a significant number of personnel, including Special Operations Forces, weapons, and military equipment near Ukraine’s northern border under the guise of exercises. The presence of mercenaries of the former Wagner PMC was also recorded.
Conducting exercises in the border area and close proximity to the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant poses a threat to the national security of Ukraine and global security in general.
We urge Belarusian armed forces to cease unfriendly actions and withdraw troops away from Ukraine’s state border to a distance greater than the firing range of Belarus’ systems.
We warn that in case of a violation of Ukraine’s state border by Belarus, our state will take all necessary measures to exercise the right to self-defense guaranteed by the UN Charter. Consequently, all troop concentrations, military facilities, and supply routes in Belarus will become legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Invasion from Belarus would be an act of insanity on behalf of the Belarusians and would mean more terror for Ukraine. Let’s pray for the accumulation of Belarusian forces to be nothing more than blackmailing and pray for their concentration of army forces to disperse soon with no threat to Ukraine.
