"Despite the increase in the duration of exercises on the training grounds, the Belarusian army is still not ready for offensive operations. The only thing that military training has had a positive effect on is the ability to defend. It is also possible to note a slight progress in skill [level] of pilots," the monitoring group wrote.
Previously: On 3 June, it became known that the Armed Forces of Belarus continued training until at least 11 June.
Prior to that, Belarusian forces continued their exercises until the end of May.
Also, self-proclaimed President Alexander Lukashenko announced the creation of an operational command for troops on the border with Ukraine, the purchase of Russian S-400 missile systems and Iskander mobile short range ballistic missile systems, and the creation of a "people's militia."
On 10 June, Lukashenko suggested that Belarusian troops might have to fight for the West of Ukraine so that it is "not chopped off by the West."
