This was announced in an interview with Ukrinform by Oleksandr Pavliuk, Commander of the Kyiv Defense Group.
"The illegitimate leadership of the Republic of Belarus continues to aggravate the situation around the alleged military threat from Ukraine and the spread of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to their country’s territory. Under the guise of these fabrications, they are stepping up efforts to increase defense capabilities and strengthen the Belarusian-Ukrainian border. To this end, they have increased the intensity of operational and combat training efforts, updating their mobilization potential, and developing the territorial defense system. They plan to create the Southern Operational Command to be responsible for the Ukrainian direction," the commander said.
