Khoiniki district borders on Kyiv region; Bragin - on Kyiv and Chernihiv regions; and Loev - with Chernihiv region.

Earlier, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus instructed that a "people's militia" be created in the country. On May 26, he announced that a new operational command, the Southern one, would be set up in the Belarusian armed forces near Ukraine's borders.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has been using Belarus' infrastructure and territory to launch strikes at Ukraine. Also, Belarus is known to be supplying Russia with weapons.
