According to Demchenko, the Defense Forces have "significantly strengthened" their positions along the border with Belarus, and this work is ongoing.
"Engineering units of both the State Border Guard Service and the Defense Forces as a whole are involved. Local authorities are also paying attention to this work. All components are working together to expand engineering barriers, which also includes destroying routes that could be used to cross the border," Demchenko said.
Specialists are installing video surveillance systems and constructing fortifications, while Ukrainian Armed Forces units are expanding mine and explosive barriers in the most vulnerable sectors.
