MINSK, 16 January (BelTA) – Ukrainian special services are actively recruiting Belarusians via the internet, State Secretary of the Belarusian Security Council Aleksandr Volfovich said in an interview with the SB. Belarus Segodnya newspaper, BelTA has learned.
"Ukrainian special services are actively recruiting ‘sympathetic' Belarusian citizens via the internet to assist in the collection and provision of information of interest and to commit illegal actions. At first, they are asked to take photos and videos of the places of deployment of units of Belarus' Armed Forces in the areas bordering Ukraine and then send this information to them. Later, the Ukrainian security services and their Western handlers use the recruited Belarusian extremists to create caches of weapons and ammunition, explosive devices and explosives to use them for terrorist attacks and sabotage in Belarus and Russia,” Aleksandr Volfovich said. “Practically, despite the promises, the lives of the recruits and their family members and their security are the last thing on the minds of the Ukrainian security services. For them, our people are expendables. I would like to take this opportunity to address the Belarusian citizens, first of all the youth. Do not fall for the promises of such recruiters, do not make mistakes that will ruin your life."
As it was reported last year, Belarus' State Security Committee together with Russia's Federal Security Service suppressed the work of a group of Belarusian citizens. On the instructions of Ukrainian special services, they carried out illegal transportation of means of destruction across the state border and organized caches in Belarus for their subsequent use by third parties in committing acts of terror Russia. "We also revealed and suppressed the activity of activists of the Belarusian cell of the Ukrainian anarchist movement 'People's Liberation Army', who were preparing terrorist acts in the buildings of the Department of Internal Affairs and the prosecutor's office of one of the major district centers of Belarus," the state secretary stated.
Along with this, a massive destructive psy-op against the Belarusian citizens, the spread of neo-Nazi ideology among our youth, attempts to involve them in illegal activities are carried out through popular social networks and messengers, he added.
"Cyber attacks on the information resources of Belarusian state bodies and other entities continue. More than 300 million attacks are carried out annually. Almost every day we receive numerous hoax bomb threats against train stations, shopping centers, schools, hospitals and other social and infrastructural facilities. The absolute majority of these fake messages about danger come from foreign telephone numbers and servers located outside of Belarus. Their main task is to distract our forces and sow panic among the population," he said.
"Unfortunately, the West still cannot realize that the Belarusian people have already grown immune to attempts to put pressure on them," Aleksandr Volfovich remarked.
