 British Intelligence update on Ukraine as of Dec. 15

On 13 December 2022, Belarus carried out a snap combat readiness inspection of its forces.

The exercises are reportedly taking place in the north-west of the country, away from the Ukrainian border.

In addition, Russia has recently deployed extra units of mobilised reservists to Belarus.

Belarus played a key enabling role in Russia’s assault towards Kyiv from 24 February 2022.

However, the exercising Belarusian troops and Russian units are currently unlikely to constitute a force capable of conducting a successful new assault into northern Ukraine.
