Kyiv • UNN
A spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service reported no movement of Belarusian equipment or troops on the border with Ukraine. However, the possibility of provocations and pressure from Russia on Belarus cannot be ruled out.
The situation along the border with Belarus remains unchanged. There is no movement of equipment and personnel from the units of the Belarusian army. This was reported by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, during a telethon on Thursday, an UNN correspondent reports.
The situation along the border, as far as we can visually observe, has not changed at all. There is no movement of equipment or personnel from the units of the Belarusian army
He also does not rule out that in order to continue to escalate the situation or create a picture, various equipment may be moved deeper into the territory of Belarus, possibly in small numbers.
"I do not rule out that in order to continue to inflate or create an image, various equipment may be moved deeper into the territory of Belarus, perhaps in small numbers. But we need to understand that, in general, this direction remains a threat to us. We need to understand that Belarus is likely to continue to be pressured by Russia to try to destabilize the situation along the border, or perhaps to become more fully involved in this war. I hope that Belarus will have enough common sense not to succumb to all these actions of Russia, to Russian pressure," Demchenko said.
Addendum
The Associated Press reportedthat after Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced that he would deploy nearly a third of the country's armed forces to the border with Ukraine, Belarus deployed aircraft and air defense troops.
