Lappo: Provocations at Ukrainian border do happen, we respond adequately to them

Despite the complexity of the military and political situation around Belarus, it is predictable and controllable. This was stated by the Chairman of the State Border Committee on the eve of the border guards' professional holiday. Anatoli Lappo said that the most difficult direction is the south, the Ukrainian border. The first stage included the redeployment of reserves there. Subsequently, a maneuvering group of three outposts was formed in Mozyr direction. Armored vehicles and mortar crews were added to the units. Despite provocations from Ukraine, our border guards are ready to respond adequately.

The situation on the western borders is calmer, but there are enough surprises from the neighbors. For example, there are queues at the Lithuanian border crossings. According to Anatoly Lappo, the EU neighbors are not trying to fix the migration crisis in any way. This year alone, according to the SBC, there have been 15 deaths of foreigners who were literally thrown into the Belarusian territory from neighboring countries.
