Belarusian border guards accused Ukraine of provocations at the border, during which armed Ukrainian soldiers allegedly approached them on an armored personnel carrier.
This is reported by the Border Committee of Belarus.
The incident allegedly took place at the "Hlushkevychy" checkpoint (from the Ukrainian side — "Maidan Kopyschanskyi") on October 29 at 1:23 p.m.
"Surveillance cameras recorded the movement of a Ukrainian BTR-80 with a group of armed men in uniform in the direction of the border with Belarus. After stopping in front of the Ukrainian engineering barriers, the armored personnel carrier turned around and at 1:33 p.m. went back deep into Ukrainian territory," the department stated.
It is noted that as part of the response, Belarusian servicemen "took up firing positions to repel possible aggression and destroy military equipment and personnel in case of a border violation."
- In October, Russian troops transferred almost 1 500 railway platforms with weapons and military equipment, up to 200 pasenger cars, and more than 100 cargo cars with military property to Belarus.
- Russia has already transferred "Kadyrovites" to Belarus, as well as " Kindzhal " missile carriers, which were placed at the Machulyshchi air base.
- The General Staff of the Armed Forces believes that the risks of a new attack on Ukraine from Belarus are increasing, but the main target will not be Kyiv.
