ALONG THE UKRAINE-BELARUS BORDER (AP) \u2014 More than four years after Russia launched its assault<\/a> on Kyiv from Belarus<\/a>, Ukraine is still fortifying the border it shares with Moscow’s ally. What was once a busy crossing between the two countries is now a quiet, mine-laden stretch of land closed off to civilians.<\/p>\n

Roads near the 1,084-kilometer-long (673-mile-long) border are covered for long distances by anti-drone netting. The surrounding landscape is dominated by rows of razor wire and concrete anti-tank barriers known as \u201cdragon\u2019s teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n
