Quote: "Separately, Oleh Luhovskyi reported on measures being carried out in Belarus, under obvious Russian influence, to prepare for a potential expansion of aggression against Ukraine. Along our state border in Belarus, the construction of road infrastructure and storage bases for ammunition and fuel and lubricants is nearing completion. These facilities have no purpose other than a military one. These are the border directions of Kobryn-Kovel, Ivanava-Manevychi, Luninets-Sarny, Rečyca-Korosten and Homieĺ-Chernihiv. We know that Russian documents describe this specifically in the context of the tasks of the so-called 'SVO'." [The Russians refer to their unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine using the term "the special military operation" – ed.]
