Summary

On August 23, 2024, the Belarusian Armed Forces were reported to have redeployed a force of at least 1,000 personnel to the southern border with Ukraine. This concentration includes aircraft, armored personnel carriers, tanks, and surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems. The redeployment appears to be a significant military positioning effort on the Belarus-Ukraine border.
