The Director of the State Border Protection Department of the State Security Service Administration, Major General Leonid Baran, said that there are no threatening actions on the border with Belarus, but the units of the Defense Forces are rehearsing actions in case of an aggravation of the situation.

He spoke about this on Thursday, September 29, during a briefing of representatives of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine at the Military Media Center.

According to him, the Belarusian side continues measures to cover the border, the numerical composition does not change significantly, and the units change on a rotational basis.

Measures for their combat readiness were again increased, but this process has been ongoing since May of this year. 

"The defense forces of Ukraine have never ruled out and do not rule out that the armed forces of Belarus may be involved in a war launched by Russia against our country directly.

Belarus plays along and helps the enemy.

Let me remind you that the insidious attack of a significant part of the Russian troops took place from the territory of this country," Major General Baran said.

In the north of our country, comprehensive measures to strengthen the security of the Ukrainian state border with Belarus, increase the capacity of joint defense actions and their readiness for possible escalation do not stop. 

"On the border with Belarus, all components of the Defense Forces are jointly rehearsing actions in the event of an aggravation of the situation.

The military and law enforcement officers practice the tasks of engineering defensive positions, demining the territory, the units train together to clear areas from enemy forces, and also practice the detection, blocking and liquidation of armed formations and subversive and intelligence groups", - emphasized the head of the State Border Protection Department of the State Security Service Administration .

We will remind you that military exercises have started in Belarus, during which they decided to check the combat readiness of the military unit that serves the airfield in Machulyshchy, where Russian planes used to arrive.
