Belarus warns of possible "provocations" due to the presence of Ukrainian troops on the border

MADRID, 21 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Belarusian Ministry of Defense has denounced the presence of Ukrainian troops near the common border and has warned that the risk of "provocations" resulting in some kind of incident in the area remains "high".

A ministerial spokesman, Valeri Revenko, has stated in statements to journalists that the war in the neighboring country has "significantly" aggravated the situation in areas near the border. According to Minsk, there is a "significant" concentration of troops from Ukraine, the Ministry has reported on Telegram.

The Belarusian government reserves the right to respond to the alleged provocations, although it has always maintained that it has no intention of becoming more directly involved in the offensive launched by Russia almost a year ago, with which it has collaborated militarily and politically.

Belarus has served as the base for the launch of Russian operations and the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly warned of the risk of the alliance between Minsk and Moscow, evidenced in regular meetings between their respective presidents, Alexander Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin.
