As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Poland has deployed 40,000 troops on the border ahead of joint exercises between the russian federation and Belarus.
On September 14, the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andrii Demchenko, said that russia currently does not have the forces to invade Belarus again, but it is capable of carrying out provocations.
As we recall, the head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, warned that with the start of the russian-Belarusian exercises "Zapad-2025" from September 12 to 16, a large-scale information pressure from russia is expected.
