A Belarusian journalist posted a video of a public announcement ongoing at a bus station in the Minsk region's city of Barysaw which suggested that a military mobilization or draft is underway. The announcement states: "All male citizens from 18 to 60 years old must come to an enlistment office or village executive committee to clarify their data."

It's not clear if Belarusian men are actually being drafted at the moment, or if the announcement was part of a readiness drill, but it certainly suggests a Belarusian forced military conscription is in play for the Russian puppet state. Other reports indicated that the announcement was timed with heightened Russian military aircraft activity in the country.

Russia opening up a new front out of Belarus has been a continued point of discussion for military strategists. It may also be possible the mobilization activity is a Russian feint intended to force Ukraine to divide its military units to cover the impending threat, thereby weakening its forces in the east and southern fronts.
