Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhii Naiev believes there are not enough enemy troops deployed within the territory of Belarus at the moment to launch a land offensive on northern Ukraine.

The relevant statement was made by the Joint Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“We assess the level of military threat based on the number of forces that are currently within the territory of Belarus. These forces are not enough to launch a land offensive at the moment, but what may happen in the future depends on the intentions of the enemy,” Naiev noted.

In his words, Ukrainian defenders managed to significantly strengthen the northern border.

According to Naiev, a system of engineering barriers was created, namely mine and explosive barriers, and their density along the state border increased by ten folds. The system of defensive lines and positions was formed.
