reference news reported on september 9 according to a report by ria novosti on september 8, alexander volfovich, state secretary of the belarusian security council, said that about 14,000 ukrainian soldiers have gathered in the area of ukraine near the belarusian border.
volfovich reportedly said that belarus' decision to strengthen border defense was reasonable and timely.
in an interview with belarus national television, volfovich said: "we have mobilized multi-service troops and equipment to the southern region to defend the mozyr and gomel directions and strengthen the ability of border defense agencies to perform tasks. the west and ukraine have recently made statements accusing us of forming some troops to launch an attack on ukraine from the southern region (of our country). such accusations only make us feel a little funny."
"ukrainians and westerners say we have deployed more than 4,000 troops there," volfovich said. "but the size of these troops is much smaller than the troops deployed in neighboring ukrainian regions. today, near the border, not just today, but in the past two years, there are about 14,000 soldiers deployed in ukraine near the border between the two countries."
