Belarus sets up electronic warfare stations on Ukraine border to counter drones 

This was reported by the Ukrainian National Resistance Centre.

"The Border Troops of Belarus have purchased from Russia and began to equip the border with Murom-P and Murom-M surveillance systems, as well as electronic warfare stations," the statement said.

"According to the local underground, specialists from the Russian Armed Forces and equipment manufacturers arrived in the republic for training and instruction. The main goal is to train the Belarusian military to counter UAVs," the National Resistance Centre added.

The situation on the border with Belarus

As of the beginning of the year, the number of Russian troops in Belarus reached about 10,000-11,000. In May, the Russians moved some of their military, who had completed training in Belarus, back to Russia. It was planned that they would then join the occupying Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.

On June 22, Andriy Demchenko, a spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, mentioned a small increase in the number of Russian troops in Belarus. However, he stated that the forces present there were not sufficient for another invasion of Ukraine.

On June 26, Serhii Nayev, the commander of the Combined Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, announced the completion of psychological and tactical obstacle courses in the northern part of the country. However, some Wagner mercenaries moved to Belarus after Prigozhin's rebellion.

On June 30, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, expressed concerns about Wagner and other potential threats. He emphasized the need to prepare for the worst-case scenarios while minimizing the potential consequences.

In turn, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed Zaluzhnyi and Nayev to strengthen the defense on the border with Belarus.

According to General Serhiy Nayev, as of August 14, there were up to 6,500 Wagner PMC mercenaries in Belarus. However, the military leadership sees no immediate threat to Ukraine from this side.
