00:00More than four years after Russia launched its offensive against kyiv from Belarus,
00:05Ukraine continues to fortify its northern border with Moscow's ally.
00:10According to the Associated Press, what was once a busy border crossing between the two countries
00:15Today it is a silent stretch of land, sown with mines and closed to the passage of civilians.
00:20The roads near the border, which are 1,084 kilometers long,
00:25They are covered in long stretches by anti-drone nets.
00:28The surrounding landscape is dominated by rows of barbed wire.
00:32and concrete anti-tank barriers known as dragon teeth.
00:37The Associated Press visited parts of the border earlier this month,
00:41following an increase in tensions between the two countries.
00:44Ukraine demanded that Belarus shut down the communications repeater stations
00:49that Russia had installed to extend the range of its drones
00:52used in attacks against Ukrainian cities.
00:55Belarus agreed, according to Ukraine, and since then the rhetoric between the two governments has softened.
01:02Although Ukrainian officials claim to see no signs of a Russian troop buildup in Belarus,
01:08They are determined to reinforce their border against any possible threat.
01:13Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has reiterated on several occasions
01:19that it does not plan to send its troops into war unless its country is attacked.
01:25Even so, residents near the border say that the possibility of Belarus
01:31The fact that Russia is becoming more involved in the war remains a cause for concern.
01:36For many residents of the area, the extensive defenses are both a reminder of the early days of
01:42the war
01:43and a source of reassurance, seeing that Ukraine is preparing for any future scenario.
01:49Ukrainian border guards patrol the area 24 hours a day
01:54with armored vehicles, drones and other surveillance systems.
01:58According to Ukrainian officials, the addition of new defenses will remain a priority in the future.
02:06given that Belarus is Russia's closest military ally.
