Belarus has announced it is ramping up its military presence at the border with Ukraine. According to the latest statements, Belarusian forces are now bolstered with additional troops, aircraft, and military equipment, signaling a significant increase in their operational readiness.
Belarusian Air Force commander Gen.Andrei Lukyanovich revealed that the deployment includes anti-aircraft missile systems and radio-technical units. “The group has been significantly increased, and they are currently on duty at the southern borders of our country,” Gen. Lukyanovich told state-owned broadcaster CTV.
This move follows recent comments from Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko, who claimed that nearly one-third of Belarus’s armed forces had been stationed in the country’s eastern order regions though the claim was promptly dismissed as ‘false’ by Ukrainian officials.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
During the GLOBSEC Defence Forum 2026 in Prague, representatives of “Steel Front”, an initiative by Rinat Akhmetov, discussed with NATO delegations, military officials, and representatives of the European defense industry the lessons learned from Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
After the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine witnessed an unprecedented wave of private support for the army. Citizens, big businesses, charitable foundations, and international philanthropists began financing the country’s defense alongside state assistance provided by international partners. Estimates of total private contributions range from tens to hundreds of billions of hryvnias. However, determining the exact amount remains difficult. In many cases, companies combine military aid, humanitarian programs, tax payments, social spending, and employee support in their reporting.
Rinat Akhmetov’s military initiative, “Steel Front”, has delivered a batch of drones worth UAH 214 million to the 1st “Azov” Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine. This shipment is part of the Metinvest Group’s ongoing support for the unit in 2025.
