Currently, Russia has no military units on the territory of Belarus, but the situation on the border with Belarus remains threatening, as the country continues to support Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.

Although the direction of the border with Belarus has not changed recently, it still remains threatening because Belarus continues to support Russia, which is waging a full-scale war against Ukraine. Currently, Russia has no military units on the territory of Belarus. This was stated by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, during a telethon, UNN reports .

The situation has certainly not changed for us in the recent period. We understand that this area remains a threat to us because Belarus continues to support Russia, which is waging a full-scale war against us. In fact, Russian troops have entered from the territory of Belarus, but Russia does not currently have its combat units on the territory of Belarus. As part of the rotation, it withdrew them in order to strengthen its groups on the front line, and did not bring in new ones,

- Demchenko said.

Details

He noted that neither the movement of military equipment nor the movement of Belarusian personnel has been observed on the northern borders.

Of course, they are taking certain actions to cover this area. We do not record such a direct threat. But, as I have already mentioned, this direction remains threatening in general, so we continue to fortify it both in the border area and along the state border, creating minefields and certain obstacles so that our soldiers have every opportunity to repel any attack. Of course, intelligence units and the State Border Guard Service are actively monitoring what is happening on the other side of the border to understand how the situation may change and to respond to any challenges in a timely manner,

- Demchenko summarized.

Recall

On the border with Russia, the enemy does not stop conducting its subversive activities - the most active area is still Sumy region. Recently, Ukrainian defenders repelled another attempt by an enemy subversive reconnaissance group.
