Border guards assessed the situation on the border with Belarus.

The State Border Guard Service claims that they have no information about the operations of Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRG) on the border with Belarus.

"As for the border with Belarus, Russian DRGs... we have not recorded them. The situation there has been completely controlled for a long Time. Only Belarusian border guards, or possibly other components located near the border, sometimes fear our dummies, sometimes try to lure Ukrainians using audio messages about borscht, lard, vodka, and so on," said SBGS spokesman Andriy Demchenko.

Demchenko also stated that the SBGS had not recorded any informational influences when it exercises control at the border.

The spokesman also noted that he does not rule out the possibility of equipment movements in Belarus to heat up the situation.

"Maybe it is located somewhere together with personnel, but this is a small number of units and they are located at a certain distance from our border. Because neither today nor in recent days have we recorded Belarusian military equipment being in close proximity to our border, and no personnel movements are observed," he noted.

Demchenko also noted that the SBGS had not observed any changes in the actions of Belarusian border patrols and the Belarusian State Border Committee.

"It is worth understanding that, in general, the border with Belarus, this direction, is threatening for us. And we pay special attention to it," the spokesman said.
