Andriy Demchenko, the spokesman of the State Security Service of Ukraine, commented on the sudden check of the combat readiness of the troops of Belarus.

He emphasized that there is no threat of a new invasion yet.

Those units of the Armed Forces of Belarus, which were previously on the border with our country, are still there - their number and nature of actions do not change. Creation of hearings that could carry out we do not record the invasion," said Demchenko.
