May 8, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarus continues developing military infrastructure away from the immediate border area, but still directs it toward the Ukrainian border, Ukrainian border guard spokesman Andriy Demchenko told rbc.ua<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis includes logistics facilities, training grounds and bases that Belarus could make available to Russian forces at any moment if Russia decides to redeploy forces to Belarus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demchenko said he cannot rule out the presence of \u201ccertain Russian units involved in logistics and aircraft maintenance\u201d on Belarusian territory, but added that their numbers remain small. Russia currently has no units in Belarus capable of launching a new invasion, he added, yet warned that Moscow could still attempt provocations aimed at destabilizing Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 2, Ukraine recorded \u201cquite specific activity\u201d by Belarus along sections of the shared border yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address without elaborating on the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An airborne object, identified as a balloon, violated the Ukrainian airspace from Belarusian territory on that day, Demchenko said. The balloon was used as a relay station to amplify signals for airborne weapons deployed by Russia in strikes against Ukraine, he added, warning that the Belarusian direction continues to pose a threat to Ukraine, as Minsk maintains its support for Moscow\u2019s war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
