Footage filmed somewhere on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border shows soldiers in the freezing night firing mortars.
The polished images give the feeling of well-controlled communication.
And for good reason, it is a video broadcast by the press service of the Ukrainian army.
For several months the concern of Ukrainians has been rising about this northern border of the country shared with the friend of the Russian enemy: Belarus.
If this front is not yet officially open, the war of images is in full swing.
The Russian army released numerous videos showing its training maneuvers with the Belarusian army.
Last October the two countries announced the creation of a joint army of several thousand men.
Ukraine with this video reacts and demonstrates that it is ready for any eventuality.
"Whatever happens, we are ready for all scenarios," said Dmytro Kouleba, Ukrainian Foreign Minister a few days ago.
Whatever they decide, Ukraine is prepared for it.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, considered one of the last dictators in Europe, regularly assures Russian President Vladimir Putin of his support.
If Belarus had already lent its territory to the Russian army for its offensive against Ukraine last February, it has however never sent troops to fight in Ukraine.
The Belarusian army "in a sorry state" according to Giovanni Chiacchio, an analyst from the Italian think-tank Geopolitica, would not be able to take part in the fighting in Ukraine.
But the Ukrainians denounce the installation on Belarusian soil of Russian “Iskander” tactical missiles capable of carrying nuclear charges.
So kyiv also shows the muscles.
