Quote: "While the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, the dictator Alexander Lukashenko, is showing off his weapons, conducting demonstration military exercises, and creating a new operational command near the border of Ukraine, the soldiers of the Volyn Territorial Defence brigade show how they will destroy enemy saboteurs if they risk setting foot on Ukrainian land!"

Details: During the exercise, Territorial Defence soldiers were trained to relocate as a unit to a deployment area, identify enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups, and engage in contact combat using various types of small arms and armoured vehicles. 

The servicemen also simulated a planned retreat from forward positions and the evacuation of wounded soldiers.
