The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have mined all roads and forest belts on the border with Belarus.

“We have mined every road and every forest strip,” he said. In addition, according to him, the Ukrainian military mined most of the border between Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. “We are not going to be friends with Russia or Belarus in the near future,” said Silkin.
