Belarus is likely building a defensive line and installing concrete anti-tank fortifications 20 km from the border with Ukraine, local monitoring group Belarusian Hajun said in a Telegram post on May 18.

According to the report, a line of "dragon's teeth" anti-tank barriers has appeared 10 km outside the city of Gomel, near the M8 highway towards the Ukrainian border. Additional construction work is underway next to these concrete barriers, presumably to build other fortifications.

"It is symbolic that this morning at a meeting of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly, (Belarusian dictator Alexander) Lukashenko called the Ukrainian offensive ‘disinformation’ and stated that ‘in my opinion, there is no counter-offensive and there cannot be," the message says.

“So, Lukashenko doesn't believe in a counteroffensive, but he decided to play it safe anyway?”

Earlier, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported that about 2,800 Russian troops remain in Belarus.
