Łukašenka orders troops to return from Ukraine border to their bases

July 13, Pozirk. Alaksandar Łukašenka has ordered troops to return from the Belarusian-Ukrainian border to their permanent bases, his press office reports.
“Now we have no complications with the Ukrainians, and I hope there will be none,” he has said during the visit to the 56th Anti-aircraft Missile Regiment in the Brest region.
“After we did some work, the Ukrainians withdrew their Armed Forces and additional troops from the Ukrainian-Belarusian border area,” he noted.
Kyiv has not yet commented on Łukašenka’s statements.
Belarusian agencies have circulated reports about Ukrainian military build-up and intelligence activities near the shared border since June 20.
The Belarusian army immediately launched a surprise drill in the Brest and Homiel regions bordering Ukraine and ordered the deployment of a multiple-rocket launcher battalion to an unspecified location.
Kyiv dismissed the build-up accusations as an information campaign to escalate tensions.
