Russian Units Exit Belarus After Zapad-2025, Poland Reopens Select Crossings

Kyiv keeps the Belarus frontier a security priority, expanding fortifications.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s border service reports Russian forces that took part in the drills have left Belarus for Russia, with no units currently observed there.
  • Officials warn the threat from Belarusian territory persists even though no unusual activity is seen near Ukraine’s frontier.
  • Ukraine is reinforcing defenses from Volyn to Chernihiv with new fortifications and targeted mining of vulnerable approaches.
  • Poland restored traffic from midnight at TerespolBrest for cars, Kukuryki–Kozlovichi for trucks, and rail crossings at Kuznica Bialostocka–Grodno, Semyanivka–Svisloch, and TerespolBrest.
  • Warsaw describes earlier closures as preventive after reported Russian UAV airspace violations and says checkpoints could be shut again if risks increase.
