We are strengthening our defense capabilities: Head of Rivne region tells about situation on  border with Belarus

All is calm on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border. All 229 km of the Rivne region's border with the Republic of Belarus are controlled and manned by the Ukrainian military.

This was reported by the head of the Rivne Military Administration Vitaliy Koval, according to Espreso.

"But we do not stop there. We continue to build up our defense capabilities. We are building engineering and fortifications," Vitaliy Koval said.

He also reminded that exercises are ongoing in Belarus. The deployment of strategic aviation and fighter jets on the other side may be accompanied by air raids, and their number may increase in the near future.

"We must respond to this signal and look for the nearest shelter. At the same time, we must remain calm and cool. We will win," added the head of the administration.

An unexpected ally: the population of beavers complicates a possible offensive from Belarus in Volyn region.
