Kyiv • UNN
Border guards do not record non-standard situations on the border with Belarus, but are strengthening the defense in this direction due to the threat of joint exercises between the Russian Federation and Belarus in September.
Border guards do not record any non-standard situations directly along the border with Belarus, but this direction remains dangerous. Special attention is paid to the joint exercises of Russia and Belarus announced for the autumn. This was announced by the spokesman of the State Border Guard Service Andriy Demchenko during a briefing, reports the correspondent of UNN.
The border with Belarus is now significantly different. We do not note any non-standard situations directly along the border line. However, this direction is still threatening for us. Our task is to increase our defense capabilities along the entire length of the border with Belarus - from Volyn to Chernihiv region. This is more than 1080 km. Fortification works are carried out both directly along the border line and in the border area, so that the defenders of all components of the Defense Forces of Ukraine have every opportunity to counter any change in the situation, should it occur.
