Belarusian army units at southern border on peace footing

"Belarusian army units carry out missions at the southern border on peacetime terms, BelTA
learned from Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin after Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko held a conference with army officers on 24 February.

The defense minister remarked they had expected a bad outcome of the deteriorating situation in Ukraine's Donbass region. “This is why the commander-in-chief gave instructions to reinforce the coverage of the southern part of the state border. Battalions are carrying out missions on peace footing over there now. They have not been switched to war footing yet,” Viktor Khrenin said. He explained that all the Belarusian army units remain ready for combat in their permanent bases all the time." BT
