Deputy Secretary of State of the Security Council of Belarus Vladimir Archakov said that this year the exercises of foreign troops near the borders of the republic in the European Union have not ceased and are taking place “literally around the clock”
“The military presence, including the international foreign contingents, is constantly increasing. The construction of infrastructure facilities does not stop. The number of military exercises is only growing. Just imagine: in 2020 there were more than 70 military exercises in Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia alone. This year, another 30 exercises have already taken place and are known to have taken place. That is, even if we imagine that each specific exercise lasts at least a week, although it is certainly longer, it turns out that literally around the clock every day, absolutely, without a break, near our borders foreign troops are honing their combat skills”, – Archakov said.
