Russian forces may be regrouping in Belarus, the Ukrainian General Staff said in a statement Thursday, APA reports citing CNN.
The movement of Russian military equipment had been observed in Belarus, "probably for regrouping units, as well as creating a reserve to replenish losses in manpower, weapons, and equipment of groups operating in Ukraine," the statement said.
Ukrainian forces had noted "frequent cases" of mines being laid in areas recently retaken by Russian forces in the Kyiv region, the statement added.
