No changes are being recorded on the border with Belarus amid statements about checking the combat readiness of the Belarusian army. This was reported by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, on the air of the telethon, as reported by UNN.
Details
This is not the first time they have checked combat readiness or escalated tensions regarding some separate exercises, separate units of their army. Joint exercises with Russia recently took place. But despite the escalation, despite the fact that Belarus continues to support the Russian Federation, we must soberly assess the situation, because this direction is threatening for us. We must continue to build up our defense capabilities so that Ukrainian soldiers can counter any threat if it comes from Belarus.
He also noted that no changes are being recorded in the direction of the Ukrainian border.
At the same time, we are not recording any changes in the direction of our border - no movement of equipment, no movement of personnel, no activity of Belarusian army units in the direction of the border with Ukraine. But intelligence units and border detachments guarding the border with Belarus are constantly monitoring the situation so that we can react in time to any risks.
