Quote: "The situation on the Belarusian front fully remains under control, although it is somewhat tense, especially in the information field. Unfortunately, Belarus does not stop supporting Russia in the war it unleashed against our state...

Belarus and Russia are constantly exacerbating the situation, placing such an emphasis on this front... At the same time, the creation of the necessary offensive group, which would be ready at the moment to invade Ukraine from this direction, is currently not reported."

Details: Demchenko has reiterated that units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and other units of Ukraine’s Armed Forces are ready for the development of combat situation in any scenario.

Background: Kyrylo Budanov, the Head of the Ukrainian Chief Intelligence Directorate, has explained that Russians utilise "carousel" tactics in Belarus to hold Ukraine under pressure. Budanov stated that there was no data indicating an immediate threat from Belarus.  

On 24 December, Alexander Lukashenko, the self-proclaimed President of Belarus, went on a working visit to the Russian Federation.
