The Armed Forces "concentrated" up to 114 thousand soldiers near the Belarusian border: what they say in the RB
Khrenin noted that about 17,000 people were involved in protecting the border. Belarusians are also allegedly observed by many provocations from the Armed Forces with disruption of airspace, in particular with ranges of unmanned aerial vehicles. "They (Ukrainians, ed. ) Her (border, ed. ) Are transformed into a fortress. All roads, destroyed bridges, railway tracks are fully replaced, anti -tank fences are being built," Viktor Khrenin said.
However, he stressed that on the Belarusian side on the border with Ukraine does not need to increase additional forces. According to him, the sabotage groups coming from Ukraine are a great threat. Also, the RB's Defense Minister added that Belarusians fix intelligence from the air allegedly conducting Western countries. "Today, we see a premature set of measures carried out by Western Europe, headed by the United States to prepare for hostilities.
We understand who these hostilities will be directed," he added. We will add that at the time of publication the Ukrainian side did not comment on the words of the Minister of Defense of Belarus Viktor Khrenin. We will remind, on February 16 a spokesman for the State Border Service of Ukraine Andriy Demchenko stated that the leader of Belarus is trying to intimidate citizens and declares a "threat" that Ukraine allegedly bears.
