MINSK, 16 August (BelTA) – One of the topics of the meeting convened by the Belarusian president on military security was the situation on the border with Ukraine, BelTA has learned.
"After the drone incursion, we have strengthened controls on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border. We have deployed more troops there. What is the situation on the border now? Have all units arrived in the area of concentration of troops in case of emergency? I received the reports, I have the appropriate map. I ask you to report not only on the situation, but also on the development of the situation and suggest your proposals on what we will do here next," the head of state said.
"The meeting is not about the analysis of some serious problems of the army. We will return to this later. All issues are under control. Everyone knows what to do. We will return to this a little later. Today we will focus on the situation of the Belarusian-Ukrainian border. Some time passed. How serious are the things happening on the side of Ukraine? These are the questions," the Belarusian leader said while outlining the range of issues to be discussed at the meeting.
