The Ministry of Defence of Belarus has announced the start of training on the "transition from peacetime to wartime."
According to European Pravda, this was stated by the press service of the Ministry.
The Ministry of Defence of Belarus has stated that it is starting training on combat readiness – "with renewed summons for military service and the development of new modules in the training program for new recruits."
"The general focus of the training is to conduct a set of exercises with all categories of servicemen, units, military units, formations, military administration bodies on the organised implementation of measures for the transition from peacetime to wartime," the statement said.
Background: The Belarusian authorities recently announced that they will continue military exercises on the border with Ukraine and Western countries. Also, self-proclaimed President Alexander Lukashenko issued a statement about the creation of an operational command for troops on the border with Ukraine, the purchase of Russian S-400s and Iskanders, and even the creation of a "people's militia."
