Over the past week, no signal repeaters used to boost Russian drone signals have been detected operating in Belarus, and there is no concentration of hostile forces near the Ukrainian border, according to Andriy Demchenko, spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

"Throughout this week, we have not detected any signal repeaters operating on the territory of Belarus that boost signals for Russian aerial attack systems," he said.

Demchenko added that there are currently no signs of attempts to build up military formations, concentrate military equipment, or deploy additional personnel near the Belarusian section of the state border.

"At the same time, we must remain vigilant. Ukraine's intelligence units, the Ministry of Defense, and the State Border Guard Service are constantly monitoring developments deep inside Belarusian territory," he stressed.

The State Border Guard Service spokesperson recalled that Belarus remains under strong influence from the Kremlin and that the threat originating from its territory has not disappeared.

Demchenko recently said that Belarus periodically activates signal repeaters that boost signals for Russian drones during attacks on Ukraine.

RBC-Ukraine also reported that Oleh Ivashchenko, head of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, confirmed that some of these signal repeaters in Belarus had resumed operating. At the same time, he stressed that Ukraine has sufficient capabilities to destroy them.
