In Ukraine’s Zhytomyr region, a large screen has reportedly been set up on the border with Belarus and is being used to show footage from Russia’s war in Ukraine.
In a video posted by the Polish-owned Belarusian-language broadcaster Belsat, the screen is shown playing statements from Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko about his support for Russia, as well as clips of Russian strikes on Ukraine that were purportedly fired from Belarus.
The video also shows photos of the bodies of civilians in Bucha who were killed during Russia’s occupation of the town, as well as an address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Belarusians.
According to Belsat, its readers confirmed that the broadcast is clearly visible and audible from Belarusian territory. The Belarusian authorities have not commented on the screen’s appearance. However, the independent Belarusian outlet Zerkalo reported that Belarus’s State Border Committee has previously complained that Ukrainian border guards have engaged in “provocations” such as singing the Ukrainian national anthem and yelling, “I’m going to throw a grenade!”
