No buildup of a strike force toward the Ukrainian border has been observed on the territory of Belarus, although Russia continues its attempts to draw Belarus further into the war.
Andrii Demchenko, spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, said this on television, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.
Demchenko said that Ukrainian units and the General Staff had also observed no buildup of any strike force toward the Ukrainian border on Belarusian territory. However, he added that Russian pressure on Belarus remained in place in an effort to encourage it to become more actively involved in the war against Ukraine, including through attempts to destabilize the situation along the border.
He assured that the border with Belarus was currently much better fortified than it had been in 2022.
