The Russian Federation maintains about 21,800 military personnel near the northern border with Ukraine. However, the situation remains under control.
What is the situation on the border with Russia?
The AFU Joint Forces Commander, Lieutenant General Serhii Naiev, noted that the enemy created and maintained groups with a total number of 20 thousand people.
The military constantly conducts reconnaissance, conducts shelling of border areas, and also actively builds up the engineering and fortification equipment of the area.
Measures are being taken to re-equip units with the latest or modernized weapons, Naiev said.
Also, on the part of the Republic of Belarus, in addition to border service units, about 1,800 members of the armed forces are kept along the border to strengthen it.
Military and law enforcement agencies constantly conduct combat training activities, build surveillance systems, and build engineering and fortification equipment along the border.
The role of Belarus in the war of Russia's against Ukraine
As part of the so-called "Union State", Belarus continues to provide significant assistance to Russia in the war against our country by supplying and repairing weapons and military equipment.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia invaded the territory of Ukraine, including from Belarus. At the same time, terrorists captured part of Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions. Later, our soldiers de-occupied these territories.
Also, during the entire period of the war, the occupying country used the territory of Belarus to attack Ukraine.
In addition, Belarus organised the so-called "drills" with Russia, which have been ongoing since April 29, 2022.
