According to the project, despite an extended exercise period at the training grounds, the Belarusian army is still not ready for any offensive military action, but has become more prepared for defence.

The Belarusian Hajun Project claimed that it “continues to monitor all the activity of the Russian and Belarusian Armed Forces on the territory of Belarus.”

The news of Belarus extending its military exercises on Ukraine’s border comes just a day after the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, called on Russia to be ready to use nuclear weapons, in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, on Thursday June 30.
