Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service (DPSU) said they are strengthening their border against any future attacks from Vladimir Putin’s ally, the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

The Foreign Ministry has accused Minsk of using the build up of thousands of troops “under the guise of exercises.”

Kyiv has issued Minsk with a warning not to make “tragic mistakes under Moscow’s pressure.”

DPSU Spokesperson Andriy Demchenko said on Friday, “This is tens of kilometers from our border, at different points – different distances.

“What is happening on the territory of Belarus is actively monitored by intelligence units, the Ministry of Defense and the State Border Service in order to understand how the situation is changing, how threatening it can be for Ukraine.

“So that all components of our defense forces, which strengthen this direction, have the opportunity to react in time to any actions.”
