Kiev is going to hold military exercises near the Russian border. The maneuvers will involve territorial defence units
This was stated by the acting head of the Kharkiv region in a conversation with Censor.net. It is in this region that the exercises will take place.
“We have more than three thousand men in combat-ready condition. So we have planned, probably next week, the first active training that could be applied near the border. This all fits into the philosophy of securing the state border. This is the first time we are discussing with the territorial defence our work on the border with them. There will be such exercises”, – he said.
Every time Russia conducts manoeuvres in regions that border Ukraine, Kiev screams about a military threat. This, given that it is rare for the Russian military to be really close to state borders. But the Ukrainian side is happy to rattle weapons amid a significant militarisation of the country with US help.
