Quote from Tymoshenko: "The military installed substantial barricades, and the local authorities helped with surveillance cameras. Thermal imaging cameras were also installed. It is important that border areas can be monitored online. In addition, checkpoints operate here."
Details: According to the deputy head of the office of the president of Ukraine, on 27 July, at a similar checkpoint, residents of Mariupol were seen being "evacuated" by the occupiers to Russian territory. People were then forced to return to Ukraine through Belarus because there was no other route.
Tymoshenko added that the border is protected in the Sumy, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Rivne regions, but "not everyone can boast of a modern surveillance system."
He promised to solve this issue so that "monitoring of the situation is at the highest level."
