Near the border with Ukraine: the Belarusian military started training instructors from the Russian Federation
Future exercises provide for the movement of personnel to certain areas, including border areas along the border with Ukraine. In these places will conduct training in combat shooting and maneuvers of military equipment. The restriction on the movement of civil transport by public roads and territories of the region was also temporarily imposed. According to local sources, these exercises are Russian citizens.
However, they do not use support from the personnel of the Armed Forces of Belarus, the CNS reports. In a conversation with colleagues, the commander of the Separate Service of the Border Committee of the Republic of Belarus, Igor Kryuchkov, expressed his dissatisfaction with the attitude and behavior of Russian military instructors, including mercenaries from the Wagner PVC, regarding the personnel of the special unit of the Belarussian border guards.
The CNS noted that the presence of Russian instructors indicates that the Kremlin does not delay the idea of using the Belarusian military for their strategic purposes. They also noted that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine, military exercises have been continuously ongoing to pressure the Ukrainian military-political leadership.
We will remind, earlier in the Ministry of Defense of the RB reported that in the Armed Forces of Belarus began a check of combat readiness. In particular, the military should come to the appointed areas, hold a number of exercises and training. In addition, as noted in the Defense Ministry, it is planned to transfer military equipment, a temporary restriction of the movement of civil transport is possible.
