Kyiv: Ukraine has demanded Belarus to withdraw the Belarusian forces stationed on their common border.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has warned Belarus not to make tragic mistakes under pressure from Moscow.
A statement issued by the Ministry of Defense of Belarus urged the Armed Forces of Belarus to stop unfriendly operations and withdraw their troops from the border.
Belarusian special forces and former Wagner mercenaries were among the troops on the border, the ministry said.
Their equipment included tanks, artillery, air defense systems and engineering equipment, located in the Gomel region near Ukraine’s northern border.
The statement said that Ukraine has never taken any unfriendly steps against the people of Belarus and will not do so.
It should be noted that the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, said on August 18 that Ukraine has deployed more than 120,000 soldiers on the border of Belarus.
