In Belarus, a sudden check of combat readiness was launched by the order of self-proclaimed president Oleksandr Lukashenko. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus.
The message says that the measures will be complex in nature, and the troops need to reach the designated areas as soon as possible, implement engineering equipment, organize security and defense, as well as build bridges over the Neman and Berezina rivers.
