The Ukrainian Armed Forces together with the National Guard of Ukraine conducted military drills in undisclosed locations near the border with Belarus.
Video released on Saturday (December 24) by the press service of Ukraine’s Armed Forces showed Ukrainian servicemen training to prevent attack from tactical airborne troops on the critical state facilities.
Belarus has in recent weeks announced a flurry of military activity, including readiness checks and a fresh deployment of Russian troops to the country.
The manoeuvres prompted suggestions from Ukrainian officials that Russia may be planning a fresh attack on Ukraine via Belarusian territory, as it did, unsuccessfully in the early days of its war in Ukraine.
