GPK notes tense situation near borders

Head of the State Secretariat for Defense of the Republic of Belarus Konstantin Molostov noted in a comment that "the situation around our borders remains habitually tense today." He said that there is a constant buildup of military potential by neighboring countries along the northern and western borders, while the situation along the southern border—in the region where combat operations are ongoing on the territory of Ukraine—also contributes to rising tensions. He emphasized that the state strategy provides for ensuring security along all sections of the border.

Context
