Poland’s ex-army chief claims it must prepare to support insurrection in Belarus

Poland must prepare for an uprising in Belarus “because it will happen,” according to a former Polish army chief. “We must be ready to support the divisions that will lead the operation against (Belarusian President Alexander) Lukashenko,” Waldemar Skrzypczak told Polsat News on Wednesday. “If the Ukrainian counter-offensive ends successfully, those Belarusians who are part of Ukraine’s military potential will not hand over their weapons,” Skrzypczak said. “They will go to Belarus. I hope this causes an insurrection. Lukashenko is afraid of it.” Comment: Skrzypczak should be careful what he wishes for: Protesters in Poland urge end to support for Ukraine war and ‘Ukranization’ of country Warsaw, he went on to say, needs to be ready to support such units.
