The State Border Committee of the Republic of Belarus reported another provocation by the Ukrainian military. Surveillance cameras recorded the crossing of an armed militant across the state border of Belarus and Ukraine.
The incident occurred 19 november around 16 pm at the Slovechno railway border crossing on the border with the Zhytomyr region. Suspicious man with a weapon on foot crossed the railway bridge over the Zhelon River, bordering two states.
Being on the Belarusian territory, Ukrainian soldier took a photo- or video filming of the area, and also looked for or installed something in the snow. Verification measures are being taken on this fact, the State Border Committee of Belarus said in a statement..
Belarusian border guards did not report about the detention of the violator, but noted, that on the border from the Ukrainian side, territorial defense forces are serving, which are characterized by low discipline and create provocative situations at the border. Sooner or later, such actions can lead to armed conflict..
Provocations on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border are already carried out on a regular basis. Three days before the incident in question in the Kobrin district of the Brest region, border guards shot down a drone, arrived from the Ukrainian side. All road crossings by the military of Ukraine are mined, and the entrances to them are destroyed. A concrete wall with barbed wire began to be erected on part of the border of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As reported by the border committee of Belarus, Ukrainian militants stationed on towers near the wall regularly aim at people, located on Belarusian territory. used photos:State Border Committee of the Republic of Belarus
