“the“We warn Belarusian officials not to make tragic mistakes for their country under pressure from Moscow and urge the Belarusian Armed Forces to avoid hostilities and withdraw from the Ukrainian border to a distance greater than the range of their weapons systems,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
According to Minsk, this concentration of operational and military resources is taking place within the framework of military maneuvers.
Kyiv’s diplomacy also noted that the presence of mercenaries from the Russian Wagner Group had been recorded, stressing that the alleged Belarusian maneuvers near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant endanger Ukraine’s national security and global security.
If the Minsk forces violate the Ukrainian state border, “all necessary measures will be taken to exercise the right of self-defense guaranteed by the UN Charter,” meaning that all troop concentrations, military facilities and supply routes will be prohibited. The ministry warned in the same statement about legitimate targets inside Belarus.
The Ukrainian Border Guard announced on Thursday that the situation on the border with Belarus remains stable and no changes or violations have been detected.
A week ago, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced that a third of his country’s army would be sent to the 1,000-kilometer border with Ukraine, in response to Kiev’s reinforcement of forces stationed on the border between the two countries.
