What is the situation on the border with Belarus?
Currently, there is no threat to Ukraine from Belarus.
As of now, no formations or any formed forces that would be located on the territory of Belarus in the direction of the border have been recorded, Demchenko said.
He noted that Belarus still maintains certain units in the direction of the Ukrainian border. This situation has been observed since 2022.
Belarus so wants to show that Ukraine allegedly poses a threat to it.
“Such rhetoric of the Belarusian authorities has been constantly supported. But, of course, our task is also to monitor the situation that will unfold during the joint exercises, the active phase of which is planned for September. Because at this time the risk for our country may increase, especially considering how many of its forces Russia will be able to attract to these exercises on the territory of Belarus,” the representative of the State Border Service added.
