Lukashenko: Ukraine continues provocations on border with Belarus

MINSK, 4 October (BelTA) - Ukraine continues provocations on the Belarusian border, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting to discuss the country’s military security in Minsk on 4 October, BelTA has learned.

According to the president, Ukraine has deployed 15,000 troops to the Belarusian border, is installing engineering equipment at checkpoints and firing positions there, and has set up barriers on roads.

"In short, they have not just barricaded themselves. They have built a wall. Ukraine conducts optical, electronic and radio-technical reconnaissance of our territory, troops, and facilities, with their drones often violating the Belarusian state border. They say they are allegedly very concerned about Belarus’ entering the war and yet at the same time they continue provocations on the border," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
