Ukrainian military command warns of electronic reconnaissance build-up in Belarus

 August 27, BPN. Activities linked to intelligence gathering based on signal interception were recorded in the Belarusian territories, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said in an operational report as of 6 a.m. on August 27.

The Ukrainian military command added that the electronic reconnaissance build-up continued in Volyn and Polissya areas. 

Earlier this week, Ukraine has already warned that “the enemy is actively using electronic warfare means in the border areas in Belarus.”

On February 24, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine. Authorities in Minsk deny Belarusian army troops’ involvement in combat operations on the Russian side. However, Belarus allowed Russian troops and weapons to move freely through the country, use its airspace, refuel and store military equipment and attack Ukraine from its territory.

A 20,000-strong grouping of Russian forces crossed into Ukraine from Belarus at the outset of the war, Alaksandr Łukašenka told AFP in an interview on July 21. Russian troops retreated from northern Ukraine later.
