Lukashenko, a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Minsk had deployed nearly a third of its armed forces along the entire border in response to the Ukrainian deployment.
According to The Military Balance 2022 assessment of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Belarus’s professional army has about forty eight thousand soldiers and some twelve thousand state border personnel.
The comments come against the backdrop of a Ukrainian incursion into Russia that began on August 6, when thousands of Kyiv’s soldiers smashed through Russia’s western border into the Kursk region.
Meanwhile; Ukrainian forces said they struck another bridge in the Kursk region, seeking to disrupt Moscow’s combat operations in the area.
