During the joint military maneuvers, the paratrooper landing of the Russian armed forces will be landed from Il-76 aircraft in the Grodno region of Belarus, which borders Poland and Lithuania, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
The maneuvers will involve the Russian Airborne Battalion, and the exercise is intended to test the Allied’s rapid reaction force in connection with “adult military activity near the Belarusian border,” the Belarusian Armed Forces explained.
Belarus’s air defense forces, impact helicopters and other forces will also be involved in the training, during which soldiers will prepare for operations against, among other things, enemy intelligence and illegal armed formations.
As part of an extensive hybrid attack on the Lukashenko regime, efforts have been made in recent months to send thousands of illegal immigrants from Belarus to Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, most of whom have arrived in Belarus as tourists from Iraq.
The EU has accused the Minsk regime of seeking to avenge support for the Belarusian opposition and of sanctions against Belarus in response to last year’s violent crackdown on protests.
Addressing his country’s parliament on Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Matthew Moravecki has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being the true curator of the migrant crisis in Belarus.
“The leader of Lukashenko’s attack in Moscow is President Putin in Moscow,” the Polish prime minister said.
