Belarusian forces are about to practice military drills close to the Polish border that would serve as an occupied territory to liberate. The Defense Ministry of Belarus informed the media of the drills they would be doing and activities related to them.

Military Preparedness of Minsk

The Ministry of Defense announced last Thursday that Western tensions brought on by its proxy Ukraine have the Russian ally commencing these activities to hone combat troops' ability to drive away an invading force, reported RT.

Applying martial law, dealing with enemy-armed group incursions, and practicing close air support for ground forces are all part of the drills that will be carried out.

Additionally, according to officials, these military exercises will take place in the Brest region close to the Polish and Ukrainian borders until September 14. For greater regional stability and to show transparency, Minsk invited interested international observers to visit, noted Daiji World. 

After President Alexander Lukashenko contended in July that NATO was preparing for a conflict in Eastern Europe and referenced increased activity by the military alliance, Minsk began preparing for maneuvers close to the Polish border.

The Belarusian president said NATO cannot be trusted at this point and alluded to the German plan to conquer eastern lands. By using Kyiv as a tool, the West may endanger Eastern Europe and Russia. Fighting between Russia and Ukraine in August this year led to Lukashenko's evaluation that Kyiv posed a danger to Minsk's security.

He alleged President Zelensky intentionally increased tensions and oppressed Ukrainians with his Nazi allies while maintaining order by force.
