On his official Telegram channel, Deputy Chief for Ideology of the Special Operations Command of Belarus’ Armed Forces, Colonel Vadim Lukashevich described the situation at the border, as well as responses to threats, Caliber.Az reports.

“Tensions at the Belarus-Ukrainian border are rising. The coalition of Western states has started a hot conflict near our territory. Attempts are being undertaken on their side to get our country involved in this war.

In these complicated conditions our country does everything to preserve peace in Belarusian land. We have information that Ukraine is concentrating troops, weapons, and military hardware near our borders. In particular, American infantry fighting vehicles, multiple-launch rocket systems, heavy long-range artillery, and other hardware have been deployed in Zhitomir Oblast,” Lukashevich noted.
