We are constantly in communication with foreign partners, in particular, with partners from the United States, Poland, etc. Our intelligence is also constantly working. Currently, the units of the Belarusian armed forces that have are deployed along our state border have not changed either in size or in quality. But we are aware of the information we have and keep calm. Calm means that we professionally perform the tasks assigned to us, gradually increasing our defense capabilities and engaging in measures to improve the skills of our personnel," Nayev said.
