Border guards do not observe any drastic changes on the border with Belarus against the background of a sudden check of the combat readiness of formations and military units of the Armed Forces of Belarus. Also, Russia has no units in this direction that it could use against Ukraine. This was stated on the air of the telethon by the speaker of the state border service Andrey Demchenko, reports UNN.
"We don't see any changes at our border. Near our border on the other side on the territory of Belarus, there is no accumulation of troops, or movement of equipment and personnel. It should be understood that Belarus constantly conducts exercises, then checks the readiness of its forces. If we talk about the threat, especially when Russia kept a certain number of troops there, and the number of Russian troops could reach 10-12 thousand military personnel, then at the moment Russia has no units in this direction that it could use against Ukraine," Demchenko said.
He noted that the task of the Defense Forces is to be prepared for any development of events taking place on the other side of the border.
"There are no threatening moments as of now, but we must be prepared for the development of any situations. We continue to strengthen the border line and border area," Demchenko added.
