Belarus is currently building a new military town with a landfill 40 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.

This information is reported by the Belarusian service of “Radio Svoboda.”

According to the publication, the construction of the military object began in 2023 and is expected to be finished by 2027.

Now people can witness equipment and workers where a few children’s camps used to functionate.

The publication notes that the construction may relate to statements made by the self-proclaimed President of Belarus, Oleksandr Lukashenko, in May 2022. Back then, he announced the creation of the “Southern Operational Command” within the armed forces.

This new military town could serve a military base in case Russia goes back to the idea of attacking Ukraine from the north.
