September 10, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service has announced special border controls in a one-kilometer area along the shared border with Belarus and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulation is based on the Ukrainian government\u2019s Directive No. 1049, adopted in mid-August. It bans free entry, stay, residence and movement, as well as activities unrelated to \u201crepelling armed aggression against Ukraine, defense or protection of the state border,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restrictions are necessary to strengthen Ukraine\u2019s defense capabilities, prevent threats to citizens\u2019 safety and minimize the risks posed by people staying in the border zone without authorization, it noted, adding that restrictions are temporary and will remain in effect only during the period of martial law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Minsk proposed reopening border crossings for berry pickers from Ukraine but Kyiv objected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine. Authorities in Minsk denied the Belarusian army\u2019s involvement in combat operations but allowed Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and have persecuted Belarusians for antiwar positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
