ALONG THE UKRAINE-BELARUS BORDER – More than four years after Russia launched its assault on Kyiv from Belarus, Ukraine is still fortifying the border it shares with Moscow’s ally. <\/p>\n

What was once a busy crossing between the two countries is now a quiet, mine-laden stretch of land closed off to civilians.<\/p>\n

Roads near the 1,084-kilometre-long border are covered for long distances by anti-drone netting. <\/p>\n

The surrounding landscape is dominated by rows of razor wire and concrete anti-tank barriers known as “dragon’s teeth.”<\/p>\n

The Associated Press visited parts of the border in northern Ukraine earlier this month, following a rise in tensions between the two countries; Ukraine demanded that Belarus shut down communications relay stations Russia had installed to boost the range of its drones attacking Ukrainian cities.<\/p>\n

Belarus obliged, according to Ukraine, and rhetoric between the two governments has eased since then. <\/p>\n

While Ukrainian officials say they see no signs of a Russian troop buildup in Belarus, they are determined to strengthen their border against any possible threat.<\/p>\n

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has repeatedly said he has no plans for his troops to enter the war unless his country is attacked. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Still, people living near the border say the possibility of Belarus becoming more involved in Russia’s war remains a source of anxiety.<\/p>\n

For many residents, the extensive defences are both a reminder of the early days of the war and a source of reassurance that Ukraine is preparing for any future scenarios.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian border guards patrol the area around the clock using armored vehicles, drones and other surveillance systems. Ukrainian officials say the addition of more defences will remain a priority well into the future because Belarus is Russia’s closest military ally.<\/p>\n
