The strip along the Ukrainian-Russian and Ukrainian-Belarusian borders will increase to 2 km wide.

As Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Oleg Nemchynov reported in Telegram, this is provided for by the draft law No. 7475 “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts Regarding the Protection of the State Border” voted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

“This will practically be a mined territory,” he emphasized.

On February 24, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding the Protection of the Border of Ukraine (No. 7475), which regulated the issue of the involvement of military units and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the implementation of measures to strengthen the protection of the state border of Ukraine. 310 People’s Deputies voted for this decision.

The role of Belarus in the war against Ukraine

With the beginning of the war, Lukashenko placed the military infrastructure of Belarus at the full disposal of the Kremlin. Separately, Putin is absorbing Belarusian factories to strengthen his army.

The Kremlin has developed a detailed plan for the “creeping annexation” of Belarus by political, economic and military means until 2030. According to journalists, according to the plan prepared in the fall of 2021, the Kremlin is going to form a union state of Russia and Belarus no later than the end of the decade.

According to ISW analysts, NATO should prepare for the fact that Belarus will be controlled by Russia.
