Ukraine confirms rocket that struck its airport was fired from Belarus - as its leader Lukashenko warns war will become a 'meat grinder' with his special forces poised to join Russian assault on Kyiv
Daily Mail UK ^ | Feburary 27, 2022 | Jack Wright For Mailonline

The Ukrainian state security service has officially reported that a rocket attack on Zhytomyr Airport - located some 93 miles west of Kiev - was launched from the territory of Belarus.

Belarusian special forces were seen loading onto airplanes in preparation for an air assault on Kyiv in what could be a widening of the war, military sources stated.

Ukrainian intelligence has reportedly learned from within Belarus that ‘special ops’ troops have been spotted loading up planes for a major attack.

Videos have circulated of the explosion at Zhytomyr Airport, with reports of shockwaves nearby.

A widening of the conflict to potentially include Russian ally Belarus could signal Vladimir Putin’s growing fury and frustration as the Russian campaign appears to get bogged down in fierce fighting around Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second biggest city. It could also run the risk of sucking in other states including NATO allies, triggering a pan-European conflict.

In a bizarre rant on Sunday, Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko warned that the war in Ukraine will ‘become a meat grinder’.

Speaking at a polling station during a referendum on constitutional change that would give the despot further power, the Putin ally thundered: ‘The conflict in Ukraine is the thin edge of the wedge. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about. If it continues like this, the worst will happen.

‘He [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky] will not be hidden in any American or some other bunker. That’s why the war should be ended today. I wouldn’t even call it the war. This is a conflict. The war will last for one-two days, but there will be a meat grinder in three days.’

I really would rather see Belarussians rise up and do a “Mussolini” on Lukashenko.

If Lukashenko sends his special forces to attack Ukraine, then who will defend Lukashenko from his own people now?

Lukashenko’s regime has no legitimacy. Putin is propping him up.

There is video of the missiles blasting off from Belarus all over twitter. Belarus is clearly not a country.

Great point. Two million people live in Minsk. If they want Lukashenko out there isn’t much he can do about it. Shortly there will be way more fires than Putin can put out at once.

Its almost like our CIA has gaslighted these leaders to think they are winners.

It won’t be until they are dreagged out in the street and hung from meat hooks that they will realize, they are not.

Putin (the Guy Who Wants To Be a Czar) has a number of cards to play. Seems like he’s pulling Belarus into the conflict. Putin is putting his nukes on Alert. Putin is assembling whatever he can to win this one.

Meanwhile, the Globalists (Soros, Germany, Biden, etc) are lining up behind Ukraine. Lots of cards being played there as well. Assembling quite a team, because the Globalists don’t like Putin and don’t want him to win.

I’m just thinking about our southern border. Seems more relevant to my daily life.

See, this is what happens to some people when they wear masks for too long.

It’s worldwide.

So Belarus is telling the world that Russia can win this on their own? Lukashenko is doing Russia no favors.

More likely it was Russian spec ops staging in Belarus.

Morgana, I live on the border with Ukraine and used to live for 10 years in Warsaw. Knew a few belarusians.

What is wrong with Belarus? The dictator Lukashenko is what’s wrong.

The belarusians don’t want to fight Ukraine, they didn’t want the refugee crisis.

This is all lukashenko, not Belarus.
