Belarus fortifies its border with Ukraine
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.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
