“A mock-up of a hanged serviceman in Russian uniform, whom the Ukrainian border guards named Valera, was installed. They specified that this was a serviceman killed near Kyiv,” Sergei Pavlov, an official representative of the Mozyr border detachment, said on Belarusian national television on March 12.

Pavlov said that this was allegedly done for the purpose of intimidating and putting psychological pressure on the Belarusian border guards.
