Belarus halted the construction of a military town near the border with Ukraine.

The Ministry of Defense of Belarus has suspended the construction of a military town near the border with Ukraine. This information was reported by the Belarusian publication "Radio Liberty".

Using satellite images, it was discovered that work on the area known as "Chaika" was stopped without explanation. This former pioneer camp site is located 40 km from the border with Ukraine.

A source from "Radio Liberty" sent photographs from this site, showing that construction has been suspended. There are no workers, equipment, or security present on the site.

The information received from the source is confirmed by satellite images. In an image taken on October 10, 2024, it is visible that no new structures have appeared on the territory of the former camp.

Plans for constructing a new military town and training ground in the Gomel region have been known since last year. The work was supposed to be completed by March 2024, but construction has halted without explanation. To this day, no new buildings have appeared.

According to official information, funds from the budget were planned to be allocated for the construction of the new military town. The project was to start in 2023 and finish in 2027.

Belarus doubts the involvement of North Korean military

Experts in war studies stated that Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko doubts that the Russian Federation will involve military personnel from North Korea to strengthen its army forces. Therefore, he believes that NATO will respond by deploying its troops in Ukraine. According to the Institute for the Study of War, such concerns were expressed by Lukashenko.

Recall that the Belarusian company "Grodno Azot" illegally supplied mineral fertilizers to Ukraine, concealing their origin. With the help of a company registered in the United Arab Emirates by Turkish citizens, it gave the impression that the fertilizers originated from Turkmenistan.
