Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced the end of tensions on the border with Ukraine, as Ukraine withdrew its forces deployed on the border.
"Having carried out a certain action, the Ukrainians withdrew their armed forces and additional forces, which they had (previously) deployed on our borders, and generally withdrew from the Belarusian-Ukrainian border area," the Belarusian president said.
He pointed out that there are currently no complications with Ukraine, and expressed his hope that there will be no complications.
In turn, Lukashenko ordered the withdrawal of Belarusian troops from the southern border to their permanent locations.
Earlier, the Belarusian Defense Ministry announced that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are deploying a large number of soldiers on the border with Belarus.
