What happened before
Last weekend, Belarus claimed that Ukraine was bringing its troops and equipment to the border. The Center for Countering Disinformation emphasized that the Belarusian authorities were escalating the situation.
The State Border Guard Service, commenting on such fakes, noted that Ukraine is exclusively defending itself and poses no threat. They added that they would continue to strengthen the defense at the border.
