The spokesperson emphasized that despite the absence of a significant number of Russian forces in Belarus, the risks of provocations and attempts at destabilization remain.

The threat from Belarus is not disappearing. This is primarily because, even though Russia does not currently have a large number of its forces on the territory of Belarus, Belarus continues to support Russia and continues to play along,

In particular, according to Andriy Demchenko, yesterday evening a signal relay balloon entered the territory of Ukraine from the Belarusian side.

Of course, I cannot openly disclose everything right now, but we can expect, or we can prepare for the fact that there will be attempts to destabilize the situation along our border. We do not rule out provocations – yesterday evening we also saw an aerial target enter from the side of Belarus, which was later identified as a balloon. In fact, this is a device that used a relay to amplify the signal for aerial weapons that Russia uses against our country during shelling,

Reminder

Unusual activity from the Belarusian side has been recorded on sections of the border between Ukraine and Belarus; the situation is under control.
