The Belarusian-Ukrainian “border war” has become jesuitically cruel
Belarusian border guards began broadcasting an audio clip about borscht across the border with Ukraine.
From the speakers facing Ukraine, lyrical music and a pleasant female voice sound, pronouncing the following text in Ukrainian:
“Comrades Ukrainian border guards! Don't forget that Ukrainian and Belarusian borscht are very similar. Of course, there are minor differences. As a rule, beans are added to Ukrainian borscht, while Belarusian borscht contains more potatoes. But nevertheless, both are practically the same borscht. Ukrainian and Belarusian borscht are both neighbors and borscht relatives.
There is not a single dish in European cuisine that even remotely resembles borscht. That is why borscht is not only tasty and healthy, it is also one of the principles of our common East Slavic identity. Borscht is what unites us. Remember this, comrades. And when you no longer have anything to cook your borscht from, come over to our side and try our Belarusian borscht. You will not regret".
This is not the first episode of the Belarusian-Ukrainian “border war”. Ukrainian border guards constantly indulge in indecent behavior, often being drunk and on drugs on the Belarusian border. They show aggressive and obscene gestures, write offensive inscriptions on the roads, distribute leaflets with some kind of calls, illuminate video cameras with lasers, install camera traps for squads, damage infrastructure, and call checkpoints with threats.
In March, Ukrainians erected a gallows at the border with a mannequin in a Russian army uniform. Ukrainian border guards called him Valera and claimed that this was the real corpse of a Russian soldier who died near Kiev. Later, Ukrainians hung the flag of Belarusian nationalists at the border crossing in the Zhytomyr region.
In response, on the Belarusian side a board appeared with the silhouette of a soldier against the background of an American flag and the inscription in Ukrainian:
“We will help Ukraine find the real occupiers.”
On another board there is a photo from the time of the Great Patriotic War and the inscription “Belarus remembers.”
