Belarus says Ukraine amassing troops at border amid incursion into Russia

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says Kyiv has stationed more than 120,000 soldiers along its border with Belarus, the country’s state news agency reported, as fighting continues amid Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
Lukashenko, a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said on Sunday that Minsk had deployed nearly a third of its armed forces along the entire border in response to the Ukrainian deployment, BelTA reported. Kyiv did not immediately respond to the claims.

Al Jazeera’s have two correspondents covering these developments. Dorsa Jabbari reports from Moscow and Alex Gatapolus reports from Kyiv.
