The Russian Federation holds a group of 20,000 soldiers: Naev told about the situation on the border

According to the Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy units are constantly exploring, firing border areas, as well as actively building fortifications. The situation in the northern operating area remains controlled, but the enemy has formed and retained a group in the territory of the Russian Federation. This was announced by the Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Lieutenant General Sergey Naev on Facebook on January 19.

According to the officer, the total number of hostile groups is approximately 20 thousand people. He noted that the Russian military is constantly exploring, firing border settlements, as well as actively engaged in engineering and fortification equipment. In addition, the commander reported the re -equipment of Russian units for newer or modernized weapons.

As for the territory of Belarus, according to Nayev, not only border guards, but about 1800 people from the Belarusian Armed Forces are concentrated in the border area. Military and law enforcement officers carry out combat training measures. Nayev stressed that Minsk continues to assist Moscow in armed aggression against Ukraine, providing and repairing military equipment. Thus, the MIC of Belarus produces and processes old ammunition for further transmission to the aggressor country.

We will remind, on January 19, the Minister of Defense of Belarus Viktor Khrenin declared readiness to restore "pragmatic dialogue" with NATO member states, if they refuse "aggressive rhetoric". For his part, the Vice president of the European Commission, Valdis Dombrovskis, in an interview with January 19, stated that Western partners should combine their efforts to confront Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
