A spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service said that no movement of equipment or troops has been recorded on the border with Belarus. Intelligence units are actively monitoring the situation and are ready to respond to any challenges.

Along the entire length of the Belarusian border, no movement of equipment or personnel in close proximity to the Ukrainian border has been recorded. Intelligence units are actively monitoring how the situation is changing and how threatening it is to Ukraine. This was reported by the spokesman of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Andriy Demchenko during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN.

We see that Belarus continues to escalate the situation on the border with our country, again trying to convey that it is Ukraine that poses a threat to Belarus, although this is not the case. Ukraine is exclusively defending itself, and of course, this direction will remain threatening as long as Belarus remains in the sphere of influence of the terrorist country

- Demchenko said.

According to him, the situation at the border remains fully controlled.

At the moment, the situation on the border remains fully controlled by all components of the Defense Forces of our country - border guards, units of the Armed Forces and the National Guard, which are also reinforcing this area. We do not record any unusual situations directly along our border or any provocations. Along the entire length of the border with Belarus, we do not record any movement of equipment or personnel in the immediate vicinity of our border. This also applies to the direction of the border in the Kyiv region

- Demchenko said.

Demchenko emphasized that the accumulation or movement of equipment and personnel is taking place in the depths of Belarus.

"Everything that Belarus is escalating, including accumulating or moving its equipment, personnel, and various units, is happening deep into the territory of this country. Of course, the intelligence units of the Ministry of Defense and the State Border Guard Service are actively monitoring the changes in the situation, the threat it poses to our country, so that all our components of the Defense Forces can respond to any challenges in a timely manner," Demchenko explained.
