The number of Russian troops stationed Belarus
has gone down, with roughly 2,800 remaining in the country, according to
Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service (SBGS).
“According to our data, there were around 10,000-11,000 (Russian) troops there (in Belarus); now they are down to 2,800 military service members,” SBGS spokesman Andriy Demchenko told Ukrainian TV broadcasters on May 1.
Demchenko clarified that Russian military personnel are taking part in training exercises within Belarus, before being dispatched to combat zones in eastern Ukraine.
On April 30th, Demchenko said that Russia doesn’t launch missiles at Ukraine from Belarus, with only Iranian-made Shahed kamikaze drones attacking from across Ukraine’s northern border.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
