Details: Demchenko noted that various types of drills are undertaken on Belarusian soil on a regular basis, both with territorial defence troops and other units.

Demchenko underlined that Belarus constantly declares such exercises and reiterates that Ukraine poses a threat to Belarus, all while avoiding the fact that it was the Belarusians who enabled a Russian attack on Ukraine from their territory in February 2022.

Quote: "We are constantly monitoring what is happening deep into the territory of Belarus to understand how much of a threat it is to Ukraine. However, first of all, it should be noted that no assault formations are currently being detected near our border."

Background: The Ministry of Defence of Belarus announced that military exercises will be held in the Gomel district of Belarus with conscripts of territorial defence forces, reservists and military reserves from 8 to 31 January.
