Belarus provided an unique opportunity to the journalists wishing to see with their own eyes the real situation on the border between Belarus and Ukraine and learn about the service of the Belarusian border guards. BelTA correspondents also came to the southern border.
“It's very interesting. I really wanted to come here. When we were on our way here for the election, we were told that there might be an opportunity to go to the border. We didn't expect to see the border itself. Besides, everything was organized very quickly,” said Elizaveta Borisenko, a correspondent with the Russian newspaper Izvestia.
Anton Bychkovsky, official representative of the State Border Committee of Belarus, gave a briefing for journalists and outlined the program of the event. He emphasized that media workers were free to work at the designated locations and ask any clarifying questions.
