Details: When asked to comment on the self-proclaimed president of the Republic of Belarus’s recent statements regarding the alleged transfer of “almost a third of his army” to the border with Ukraine, the officer replied that Alexander Lukashenko continues to escalate the information situation with aggressive statements that are false.
Quote: “The situation on the border with the Republic of Belarus remains unchanged. As you can see, Lukashenko’s rhetoric is consistent, exacerbating the situation at regular intervals to appease the terrorist country.
We have not seen an increase in the equipment or manpower of Belarusian units near our border.”
Background: On 18 August, Alexander Lukashenko, the self-proclaimed President of Belarus, stated that his country sent about a third of its army to the Ukrainian border due to the presence of more than 120,000 Ukrainian soldiers there.
