Boris Johnson is ramping up pressure on the Kremlin amid growing fears that Belarus could be 'drawn into the invasion'.
Kyiv's Centre for Strategic Communications said in a statement on Friday: "According to preliminary data, Belarusian troops may be drawn into an invasion on March 11 at 9pm ."
"According to their criminal intent, the Russian aviation is preparing to launch a strike at several settlements on the territory of the Republic of Belarus located near the Ukrainian-Belarusian border. "I guarantee that the Ukrainian army did not plan, is not planning and will not plan any aggressive actions against Belarus."
"The staunch resistance of the Ukrainian air defence forces is compelling Russia to rely on 'stand-off' munitions to conduct attacks against targets deep inside Ukraine."
