Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine has full control over its border with Belarus and poses no threat, but will respond to any changes monitored by intelligence because of Belarus' support for the Russian invasion.
Ukraine fully controls the border and does not pose a threat to Belarus. However, it will respond to all changes in the situation monitored by intelligence units. This was stated by the spokesman of the State Border Guard Service Andriy Demchenko during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN .
The situation is unchanged, we fully control our border, we do not pose a threat to Belarus, but we see that Belarus continues to manipulate information to some extent, to exert information influence
He emphasized that Ukraine continues to strengthen its defense capabilities.
I will note that Ukraine does not pose a threat to Belarus, but of course it will respond to all changes in the situation monitored by intelligence units, because we remember February 24, 2022, when Belarus opened its border to Russian troops and, in fact, continues to support Russia in this full-scale war that the terrorist country has unleashed against our country
