Propagandists never explained the story of the sudden "relief of tension" on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border to ordinary citizens. Well, that is, first for some reason there was a sudden tension, then it randomly passed. The circuit breaker has been turned on and off. No one has clarified what happened and why it was turned off so abruptly.
Judging by the fact that the propagandists did not prepare the basis and did not find an explanation for this , no one warned them about this turn, and they were not ready either. The colonel said "taken off", meaning taken off. wriggle out.
But propagandists and television are not used to cover up cruel dictatorial feints. Sometimes an attack is being prepared, then tension has arisen, then something else. It is much more interesting that, apparently, this time Lukashenka did not even warn his own generals. Until they were told that the tension was lifted, the generals strained to the last.
Immediately after Lukashenka's statement about the stabilization of the situation on the border, General Tertel reported that "somewhere on the 3rd or 4th, our external intelligence recorded the departure of these units from the border areas with the Republic of Belarus. They returned to the place of permanent displacement."
But. It seems that this version arose precisely after Lukashenka's reversal. After all, on July 5, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, General Kuprianiuk, speaking at a briefing, did not notice the departure of Ukrainian troops. On the contrary, then he noticed 115,000 Ukrainian soldiers with tanks and saboteurs near the Belarusian border.
And on July 8, the colonel of the SPA Kastezh also did not see the departure of the Ukrainian troops, reporting that "the situation on our southern borders is restless, tense."
That is, for the generals, the de-escalation was so sudden that the generals could not come up with an indisputable version on the fly. because they did not know in advance when the de-escalation would take place.
In general, it is customary to warn one's generals about changes in military strategy in advance. If no one warned them, then either there was not enough trust in the generals, or it is changing so quickly that there was not enough time to convey it. That is, probably the entire state strategy is built on cockroaches in one head.
