“There is a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces and other Ukrainian paramilitary structures, about 14,000 soldiers, near our borders,” he said.
As the Secretary of State of the Security Council noted, measures to strengthen the operational direction of the South are absolutely justified.
According to him, the Belarusian Armed Forces group near the border numbers 4.5 thousand soldiers.
At the same time, he stressed that “the policy of the Republic of Belarus has never been aimed at threatening anyone.”
Recall that on August 25, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called on Belarus to withdraw its armed forces from the border “to a distance exceeding the range of Belarus’ existing fire systems.”
The Belarusian Foreign Ministry, commenting on kyiv’s statements, said that the logic of the Ukrainian side, which launches combat drones across the territory of Belarus and then is surprised by the increased activity of the republic’s armed forces, seems very complicated.
On the night of September 5, the Belarusian military noticed a violation of the state border by unmanned aerial vehicles and decided to destroy the targets.
