12th Army Corps comments on media reports about possible attack from Belarus: no enemy activity recorded for now
At the moment, no enemy activity has been recorded in the area of responsibility of the 12th Army Corps, which could indicate the preparation or initiation of offensive actions, Oleksandr Vukolov, head of the communications department of the 12th AK, said in a comment to the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
The 12th Army Corps has responded to recent media reports about a potential attack from Belarus, stating that no enemy activity has been recorded in their area of responsibility. Oleksandr Vukolov, head of communications for the 12th Army Corps, made this comment to the Interfax-Ukraine agency. Despite this, Vukolov cautioned that the ongoing war could lead to shifting circumstances.
The army is actively implementing readiness measures across its subdivisions, including the construction and expansion of fortifications. They have prepared shelters for personnel during the winter months and are repairing or reinforcing damaged sections of fortifications. Additionally, a combined system of engineering barriers, including yegoza type wire and inconspicuous obstacles, has been installed along the state border.
These barriers aim to detain any enemy offensive attempt and provide additional defensive conditions for Ukrainian forces.
The territory surrounding the state border with Belarus is mined, and logistical routes within the 12th Army Corps' area of responsibility are protected by anti-drone measures. Military units stationed in border territories regularly engage in combat training and maintain a readiness to fulfill their assigned tasks. The Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to monitor the situation closely and take necessary steps to counter any potential threats.
The head of communications for the 12th Army Corps urged citizens to rely solely on verified and official information, discouraging the spread of unconfirmed messages. Earlier this year, the German publication Der Spiegel reported on the strengthening of defenses in the Chornobyl zone, anticipating a possible northward invasion by the Russian Federation.
The article highlighted that Belarus, located just 15 kilometers away from the zone, did not participate in the war. However, if circumstances change, Chornobyl would be within range of FPV drones.
