Demchenko on Belarus border No assault force detected

Jun 24

TSN reports State Border Guard Service spokesman Andriy Demchenko's briefing: Russia still uses Belarusian training grounds and, according to intelligence, pressures Minsk to join the war. He says there is no sign of a powerful offensive force across the Belarusian border. Ukraine continues mines, fortifications and aerial reconnaissance, while visible Belarusian deployments seek to draw forces away from the east. The situation is described as controlled but requiring vigilance. A subsequent direct quotation discusses frequent attacks on border-guard positions using drone-dropped munitions, fiber-optic and FPV drones, artillery and aircraft, including support for infantry advances. That general combat quotation does not establish attacks across the Belarusian border.
